Spacing between two relational symbols

I have a relation symbol that I want to define through an equality. The problem is that when I do this, LaTeX puts too little space between the relation symbol and the equality symbol. My guess is that this is because both are relation symbols. Here is a MWE:
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
[cong_{mathcal{F}} = {(x,y) in X^2 mid forall F in mathcal{F}. x in F iff y in F}.]
end{document}
If I specify that = should be a binary operator, then the spacing between those two symbols is correct, but now the spacing between equality and the following set is too small:
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
[cong_{mathcal{F}} mathbin{=} {(x,y) in X^2 mid forall F in mathcal{F}. x in F iff y in F}.]
end{document}
So my question is: How do I ensure that the spacing around = is correct on both sides? I could try hacking it by inserting spacing manually until I'm happy, but I am hoping for a more standardised answer that will also work in other situations.

Just brace the symbol:
documentclass{article}
begin{document}
[
{cong_{mathcal{F}}} = {(x,y) in X^2 mid forall F in mathcal{F}. x in F iff y in F}.
]
end{document}
What happens is that TeX adds no space between consecutive relation atoms (cong_{mathcal{F}} and =), but when a symbol is braced it becomes an “ordinary atom”, just like a letter.
