Latter-day Saints infer from authoritative sources of scripture and modern prophecy that there is a Heavenly Mother as well as a Heavenly Father. Latter-day Saints believe that all the people of the earth who lived or will live are actual spiritual offspring of God the Eternal Father (Num. 16:22; Heb. 12:9). In this perspective, parenthood requires both father and mother, whether for the creation of spirits in the premortal life or of physical tabernacles on earth. A Heavenly Mother shares parenthood with the Heavenly Father. This concept leads Latter-day Saints to believe that she is like him in glory, perfection, compassion, wisdom, and holiness, although very little has yet been revealed concerning her. Belief that there is a Mother in Heaven who is a partner with God in creation and procreation is not the same as the emphasis on Mariology in the Roman tradition since Latter-day Saints do not pray to their Heavenly Mother, not do they believe Mary is the Heavenly Mother.

Mormons believe that God has a body, is married to a multitude of wives, and one of these bore Him a son, Jesus. On Earth Jesus was the product of a sexual relationship between God and Mary

YES they do actually they believe he has many wives..that is were they used to teach polygamy..but changed their teachings because of public scrutiny...
They teach many false things such as:
(1) you to also can be a god one day
(2)God lives on a planet near the star of kolob
(3)Jesus and Lucifer were once brothers
(4)Babies who are born into the world with black skin are babies who's angel was weak and wouldn't fight in the war which was in heaven...I know this sounds absurd..but that is the point...there organization is more confused than the Jehovah's witnesses...

I am not a Mormon, and i do not agree with their beliefs, but they believe that they can all become Gods after they die, they also believe that marriage is forever, even after death, so in effect their "Gods" have wives> But again i want to say that i am totally against this belief, i am a Bible believing Christian

Yes, mormons believe in a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother who have spirit babies that then come to earth as us. They believe that Jesus was the eldest of these spirit children and Lucifer was second oldest. Of course these ideas are completely extra-biblical and blasphemous.

You need to understand that Mormonism is a cult from both a sociological and theological perspective. Its adherents are spiritually blind and are frequently brainwashed by leaders who teach them how to respond to Christians. If you're interested, you can follow this link and see their beliefs and how they differ from true Christianity.

Yes, he has a spiritual wife. He has so much love for her she isn't mentioned his son's name is used in vain as well as his. Why would he allow that to happen to his wife.
NOTE
I said A spiritual wife, as in one, as in God is not a polygamist.
