“Mrs. G” — by Steve Nadis

Yesterday my 5-year-old asked: “What’s ___’s wife’s name?” But I couldn’t figure out who she was referring to. After asking her to repeat herself several times, I finally understood the question to be: “What’s God’s wife’s name?” Unfortunately, I have no idea how to answer a question like that.

    You could go with “God is a woman”.

    Child might retort with “so? who’s her husband?”

    In that case… “She’s a single, successful, career-oriented woman” might come in handy.

    Thanks for the suggestions. You both could be right. Then again you could be wrong.

    God doesn’t have a “wife” OR a “husband”.
    God is unisexual. God is the culmination of all that exists, all that can be understood.
    All that IS.

    If the Question was asked in a Hindu context I could answer right away, but from Biblical perspective I’m thinking of Christ and his bride.
