Most of the male and female entities like gods, married to goddesses are based on the principle, that they are aspects of the same entity. Nammu, the (Sumerian) primal water, in Assyria was represented by Apsu, the upper (inner) water, (the male Leviathan of Jewish myth) and his wife Tiamat, the lower (outer) water, (the female Leviathan). In this, Absu and Tiamat are comparable with Adam and Eve; the principle of the higher Self; the Spirit, Atma and the soul and with the Purusha and Prakriti of Brahma; Light and darkness.
There are no males and females in Heaven.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are as the angels in Heaven. Mr 12;25
The Romans used two names for the soul; the female Anima, the animal soul and the masculine Animus, the soul equipped with consciousness, willpower and reasoning; light; Spirit.
It is because of the spirit that the Animus was a male; The soul (Anima) is feminine in relation to the spirit.
The soul inside, steers the body which is its vehicle. The soul is "male" in relation to the body.
Rabbi Elazar said, In Torah, THE SOUL is male in relation to the body because the body to the soul is like a woman to a man. In relation to a higher grade, the soul is as a female to a male. Each receives its grade according to the context. Zohar; Chayei Sara : 19. Eden drips upon the garden Verse 142.
But the spirit (for as far as available) inside steers the soul, which is its vehicle. The spirit is "male" in relation to the soul which often is called its "Bride"
"Come, I will show you
the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." Re 21:9
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let
him who is
thirsty
come, let him who desires take the water of life without price.
Re 22:17
The Spirit is masculine in relation to the soul, but feminine in relation to God. It is exhaled by God and thus encompasses him as the feminine Jewish Shechina, (presence of God.) or the Hindu Shakti. Your spirit, for as much as available in you, is Spirit from God; it is the Spirit of God, residing in your soul. When "penetrating" your soul; when it becomes part of your soul, it is called Adam. Eve, Hava; life, your soul, is called his bride. In Hindu religion the spirit is the Atma inside the Jeeva our soul.

Male and female are but aspects of the entity, which might explain why some gods appear masculine in one mythology and feminine in an other.
For
instance,
Nun
is the Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) goddess of primordial waters and the Goddess
of chaos from which the world is born. The male equivalent is Nu and to stir it
up a bit, sometimes Nun is the male God and Nunet is the female Goddess. The
name probably originated from the Sumerian Nammu, the female goddess of primal
waters.
The original Sumerian Deity was called Ki-Anu, a unity of matter and Spirit,
Nammu's waters then opened up: she had given birth to Ki-An, Creation's first born,
She the Mountain, He the Sky.
Before all befores, ancient Sumerian creational myth.
which is logical because matter and Spirit in essence are the same, they always were, should be and will be One.
