Mary is God’s SPOUSE??? She’s the mother of Jesus, in His human form that He took to come and die for us. He is God incarnate. So, Mary is God the infant’s mother and God the Father’s wife??? I’d love to hear what scriptures you have to back THAT up!
BTW, the only “Queen of Heaven” the Bible mentions, is in Jeremiah, chapters 7 and 44. I suggest you read them, if you’re allowed to read the Bible by yourself. In both these chapters, the queen of Heaven is referred to as an IDOL.

See my replies #530-531 with respect to your first paragraph. With respect to your second, in addition to the illegitimate Queen of Heaven Jeremiah mentions, referring to Astarte/Ishtar worship, there is also a legitimate Queen of Heaven in Revelation 12:1 clothed with the sun with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. (Similarly, Scripture refers to both Lucifer and Jesus as the Morning Star--compare Isaiah 14:12 with Luke 10:18 and Revelation 22:16--a phrase used by pagan worshippers to refer to Astarte/Ishtar's male counterpart but reappropriated to refer to Christ in the NT: Christ is the true Morning Star where Lucifer is the counterfeit, per 2 Corinthians 11:14 where Satan masquerades as an angel of light. Similarly, Astarte/Isthar is an impostor, Mary is the true Queen of Heaven.) There is also the Queen Mother of Israel in 1 Kings 2:19, where we see King Solomon bowing to his mother before she sits down at his right hand, illustrating that there is a proper type of bowing that is not idolatrous. Early church commentators on Scripture considered both this and Queen Esther to be types of Mary.
