God's Wife

I read the other day in the Discovery newsletter I get that God had a wife. Looked her up in the Bible online, but could only find negative references to her.

I don't have belief one way or the other on this issue. But, I'm very curious as to whether or not it's true. We will never know.  Considering that patriarchal men wrote the Bible, I would be dismayed but not surprised to learn that God's wife had been edited out and demonized.
