"We are created in the image of our heavenly parents; we are God's spirit children. Therefore, we have a vast capacity for love—it is part of our spiritual heritage. What and how we love not only defines us as individuals; it also defines us as a church. Love is the defining characteristic of a disciple of Christ."

The only one left for that would be the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit is referred to as He in the Holy Bible. So apparently a mother is not needed in this Heavenly relationship. Wonders galore with God! 😏

I do not know how to classify their relationship, but I would bet there is more love between the three persons of the Godhead than any other relationship in the world.
