Spoiler:

All of course it depends on your perspective, but by hints and ideas that the series tries to suggest that she is more like his pseudo sister. For example, remember the scene at the beginning of the first film where Yui and Gendo converse about how they named their child? Yes, Rei is created from Yui's genetic material, but this you can actually say even about Shinji. He is her child, so in fact he also has a piece of Yui's genetic material in himself. Of course, it's all about own interpretation. But try to look at it this way.
