Did Cupid have a wife?
Yes he did. Her name was Psyche, a beautiful, young mortal. She was praised by many for her beauty, and men came from afar to worship her. They abandoned Aphrodite's temples f…or a mortal girl. Aphrodite was angry and jealous, so she told her son, Cupid, to make her fall in love with a terrible monster. However, he fell in love with her himself. Meanwhile, though men were praising Psyche's beauty, none wanted to marry her. Puzzled, Psyche's father went to see an oracle. At Cupid's instruction, the oracle commanded that Psyche be left on a hilltop and would be taken by a fearful winged serpent for marriage. Horrified, but unable to do anything, Psyche's father and sisters bid her farewell. Zepher carried Psyche to a mansion. There, she lived with her 'husband', but never knew of his identity at his command. Finally, her sisters came to visit, though Cupid did not want this. Seeing Psyche's beautiful mansion, her sisters were very jealous. They came up with a plot; they told Psyche that she had to know who her husband was, and that she should take a lamp and look at his face while he was sleeping. Agreeing, Psyche did so. When she finally realized that her husband was Cupid, the god of love, it was too late. A drop of oil from her lamp landed on his face, and he quickly awoke. Finding that his wife had disobeyed his orders, he fled to his mother's chambers so she could care for his wounds. Psyche was brokenhearted. She prayed to all of the other gods, but none would help in fear of angering Aphrodite. Finally, she offered herself to Aphrodite as her servant. Then, Aphrodite made Psyche do 'impossible' tasks. She had to sort seeds out of a large pile, then she had to get golden fleece from fierce sheep, then get water from the River Styx, and finally get a box of beauty from Proserpine. Psyche succeeded in all of those tasks, with the help of ants, a green reed, an eagle, and a tower, respectively. However, Psyche opened the box of beauty before taking it to Aphrodite. This caused her to fall into a deep slumber. She was awakened by Cupid, who went to Jupiter to officially marry them. This was done, and Psyche was granted immortality. Aphrodite was no longer angered, as she could not object to a goddess as a daughter-in-law. In addition, when Psyche would be caring for children and Cupid, she would no longer have the time to meddle with Aphrodite's worshipers. (MORE)

Is Cupid an angel?
A Cupid is an imaginary "angel". The Bible does give descriptions of Angels and surprisingly to many is the fact that the common Angel in the Bible is never mentioned to have …wings. But they are described as appearing as a man with the voice of a man. There are several different types of angels in the Bible: There is Michael the Archangel, Gabriel the Great Messenger, Cherubim and Seriphim, as well as numerous other Angels, that do God's bidding and minister to God's people on Earth. But there are no Cupids or Female angels. In the Book of Matthew Jesus reveals that the angels are Neutral in gender - they have no gender but do appear in form as men. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I cannot find a verse in the Bible that discusses the gender of Angels. Mattew 23:30 states: "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." It speaks not of gender but matrimony. When St. Jude, on the other hand, mentioned about "angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation.." he was referring to the "sons of God" of the book of Genesis. A part of Genesis 6:4 reads: "… the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them." Clearly the sons of God or the Angels had relations with human beings, women in particular, and had children with them. It can be inferred from this idea, that indeed, these Angels did have a gender and it is most possible that it was like on to the human male. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This all should be in the discussion area of this question but, oh well. Matthew 23:30 is the very verse I was talking about and it does imply that they are gender neutral from that very fact - that they do not marry, besides that, look at the context of the verse. Jesus is answering a question concerning marriage and all that. Add to this the fact that any refference to an angel that speaks of gender only speaks of them being - he, him, etc. Now as for the Genesis 6:4 you just have a little missunderstanding; using FIRST the context of the chapter and what it says there, as well as other verses that also use the term "Sons of God" it is rather easy to see that there is no real reason to believe that this is talking of Angels. Besides the fact that God never mentions such a thing later on in th Bible. The Bible does make it clear though, that the "first estate" that they left was heaven, and their service to God in heaven when they rebelled and followed Satan. The Sons of God in these verses is speaking of Seth's descendants - good men that made poor choices in marriage. Noah turns out to be the only one along with his family who still follows God's teachings. All the rest had gone astray. (MORE)
