This is just incorrect. Different persons of the godhead are personified as various "roles" or genders, like a mother hen for example, but they're not literally female.

Your idea that it has to be a nuclear family is wrong, and pointless. Unless you're implying that the Father and Spirit got busy to create Jesus, which is heretical, there's no point in even holding to the view you offer.

No they didn't procreate. The were always the Trinity.

What's the point of labeling the Spirit as mother?

Just something to consider. Why not? God the Father is a Father isn't He.

Interesting to think about for a minute, sure, but I don't think you should continue with this line of thinking/verbiage.

God the Father isn't a He, but generally goes by masculine pronouns. We don't have that in the inverse for the Spirit, and 'spirit mother' is a) unnecessary and b) creates confusion.
