Whenever you talk about marriage, I must not be left behind. My reason is not far fetched - I invented marriage, and to say the least, every human race is a product of my own thinking and imagination, including you.

I must equally admit that though I am not the firstborn of my parents, yet I occupy a bigger position that no one can dare to take. Importance is attached to the firstborn because apart from having the place of honour in the family, the firstborn becomes the representative and head of all the children unto whom the birthright belonged (especially when he is a male child).

Every firstborn has a duty to perform, a duty so unique and special, because he is the beginning of every marriage strength. Traditions and societies attach special privileges to the firstborn. He carries the principle which lies at the root of all true education: "What I am to make my child to be I must first be myself", and passes it on to others. Since being an example is more than rules and teachings, the firstborn distinguishes himself in a family as an icon of godliness.

With all these attached to the firstborn, yet I am not an inch near that position. I am the 5th in the order of birth, yet I am not intimidated by that. In getting married too, I must tell you that a marriage of two people - a man and a woman brought me into this world. How then did I invent marriage?

As a matter of fact, my intention is not to confuse, deceive or mislead anyone reading this article, rather that all of you may come to the knowledge of truth. I want to start by saying that every child is a gift from God to whom He has not only a right, but He needs him in the consecrated training for service that requires his complete devotion to duty in daily life. However, in this world of cause and effect, God ordered that like produces like, so those who are walking blameless in all God's commandments and ordinances share in His love. Christ made it clear that those who do the will of God belong to His family - they are His children and He is their Father. Belonging to one family makes you one with God. This is where I come in - through Christ, I share in the wealth of God, my Father - I am an inventor together with my Father.

Those whose citizenship in heaven, who have in truth entered the kingdom of God and live in it, are found worthy to communicate the kingdom. If my Father invented marriage and nurtures it to grow, my duty is to take after my Father by being a father on earth hence, my fatherhood on earth has been given as a reflection of His, to lead me to a participation in its honour and joy. As a partaker of God's divine nature, God counts on me to preserve the rules of marriage and make it desirable. When next you talk about marriage, don't forget the inventor, who lives to keep the fires of marriage life burning - I and my Father are one!
