What kind of relationship does God have with his angels?
Does he love them? Do they love him? Does he love them as much as he loves us? If not, how do the angels deal with this? Doesn't this make them sad that God loves us more than them?

Dear Frederik,
Do you ever look this stuff up in the Word, or do you count on others to do that for you? Just kidding, let's talk about angels.
The angels are individually created and have no reproductive capabilities. They have relationship with God as his servants, soldiers and workers, doing their assigned jobs.
They have sadly been divided into groups because some followed Satan when he tried to overthrow God and take over control. These are known as 'fallen' angels, because they were cast down to earth.
Their time on earth is limited, because eventually they will be cast into the lake of fire.
****************************
The angelic relationship to God is not the same as ours. The angels long to be able to understand our relationship as 'redeemed'. It says that we have a song to sing that the angels will never be able to sing, the song of the redeemed.
I can't picture the angels being jealous. I think they love and support us in obedience to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
They don't mind God loving human beings. They know God and they know that there is plenty of God's love to go around. No shortage. Ever.
Angels aren't working for us and I don't think we are supposed to 'send' angels. I think we can request that God send angels. But they are at his beck and call, not ours.
Angels have always fascinated me. My take on them is that they are here and involved in our lives even though our senses won't pick up their presence.
I am looking forward to knowing them in the next life.
Angels are completely cool.
It is great to talk to you, Frederik. I am always glad to see your name on the screen.

I was just wondering that also that if he ever looks it up himself in the Bible? But anyway, Frederik let me ask you this. If God didn't love his angels, then why did he create them?

As servants.

I wonder if the angels know God on a personal level.
Maybe they only know God as their boss who tells them what to do.

I am sure God loves the angels~they are something He created.

But he did not create them for fellowship.
He rather created them as servants.
