This God wife thing is new to me. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around it. But that would explain that God made us in His image. God was human-like before us.

Your grandma got kicked out of the nunnery? haha I was kicked out of the LC.
To answer your question about the womb, I would assume so since she was the fertility goddess known back then. People were more simple minded and didnt come up with the concept of the trinity until further down the road. According to Canaanites, she had multiple sons, some of them are mentioned in the Old Testament that the Israelites were told not to worship (ie Baal, Molech, etc)
Here is an interesting article-

I guess it’s because we grew up in monotheism. If we were Native American, we would have no trouble wrapping our brains around it.
This is an interesting read. (Scroll all the way down).

Methinks Cain was a personification of some of the “bad” sons Asherah had, and Abel is the opposite.
