Children of the Ainur

Could the Ainur (The Valar and the Maia) have children? In a few versions of tolkiens work Enowe is infact the son of Manwe and Varda.

We know of at least one Maia who gave birth and this was Melain but she was married to Thingol and took upon and Elf form to bear the child.

The point of the Ainur is that they decended into arda at its begging to order its creation but could they produce children together? They did take wives we know that its not such a mad idea they had children of there own is it?
