Christian Domestic Discipline

A domestic discipline marriage is one in which one partner in the marriage is given authority over the other and has the means to back the authority, usually by spanking.

A Christian Domestic Discipline marriage is one that is set up according to Biblical standards; that is, the husband is the authority in the household. The wife is submissive to her husband as is fit in the Lord and her husband loves her as himself. He has the ultimate authority in his household, but it is tempered with the knowledge that he must answer to God for his actions and decisions. He has the authority to spank his wife for punishment. CDD is so much more than just spanking. It is the husband loving the wife enough to guide and teach her, and the wife loving the husband enough to follow his leadership. A Christian marriage embodies true romance and a Christian man a true hero.

That said, there are a few things we will not debate:

The Bible is God's inerrant Word and
we will honor it as literal and valid for all time.

The wife is to submit to her husband,
and the husband is to love the wife.

In CDD, the husband has authority to spank the wife.
The wife does not have authority to spank her husband.

Wife spanking has probably been going on since shortly after God expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden. It is implied in the last portion of Genesis 3:16 - which, after addressing the difficulties of childbirth, says: “thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”.; After forty years of marriage, my take on the spanking question is that it is less about *obedience* than improving the relationship - of which *obedience* maybe a component. There are simply those times when what needs to be said is beyond the capacity of verbal expression to communicate.
Nada como rezarle a Diosito y darle un par de nalgadas a tu vieja por la mañana. En la escala de llanto del Niño Dios, esta práctica tiene una: happy face.

Para más soft-porn cristiano, diríjanse a : este santuario de la misoginia.

Damn... haven´t decided if my reaction to this will be crying or laughing my head off...

Come back later, hopefully with a decision on the subject.

Kiss-kiss, e.
