XOJane blogger Laura Rubino, too, notes that during her own investigation of the community, most posts from the women are positive. However, Rubino is not without grave reservations as is Jezebel's Callie Beusman , and the Daily Beast uncovered evidence that some women feel trapped and even frightened by what their home life has become. Bryan Fischer, a controversial conservative Christian radio host, has claimed in the past that the Bible teaches Christians that men are the breadwinners and heads of the household, but when reached by The Huffington Post, Fischer dismissed any connection between the Bible and the basic principles of CDD.

In , Jennifer Macon-Steele wrote a column for Yahoo! Acknowledging the questions and criticisms leveled at the lifestyle, she said CDD practitioners she had spoken with looked at it as an extension of their spirituality. They also make it clear that women in these relationships have accepted and consented to the discipline," Macon-Steele wrote, concluding, however, that "the answers to the questions surrounding this lifestyle remain unclear Write a review.

An Experiment in Domestic Discipline

Marriages are held together by mutual love and respect. Protecting yourself is important, because your husband, who is used to gluing the marriage together with fear and violence, may double down on that if he feels the marriage is falling apart. It is not acceptable. At the age of 34, I can think of no problems that can be solved by corporal punishment. Jennifer, I agree with Serving and the others.

It might be helpful to get a plan in place in case you need to leave suddenly. If possible, photograph it where it hangs or have someone else do it and have 2 or more friends or others observe where it hangs. Jennifer, 1 Peter states clearly that a man who does not treat his wife well will not have his prayers heard.

When you decide to go public—barring repentance by your husband of course—the paddle and a few pictures of the bruises would be helpful, too. Demanding perfection of a spouse is prideful and immoral.

See Matthew In a strong relationship between mature people, they learn to accept one another as they truly are and be gracious to one another in their sins and mistakes. They can embrace a fellow sinner, they can cheerfully endure mistakes together and then solve them together. Women are not peculiar creatures who need force to behave well. Spanking a wife is exceedingly prideful and immoral behavior. And treating women as a class like children, or as if we are especially evil more than men is really an attack on the character of God who made women in his own image, just like men, and who saves and sanctifies us, just like men.

Jennifer, I commend you for having the courage to discuss what has been occurring in your marriage. I am sure that was a difficult decision to make. He decided to utilize your painful history to further his desire for power and control in your relationship. That paddle is an instrument designed to instill fear and shame.

That is not love; that is abuse. Even announcing that he is the head of the home represents his claim on absolute power and authority. Jennifer, you clearly desire to be a loving, devoted wife who conscientiously seeks to please and honor her husband, but in marriage, fear should never be the motivation — love should be. He is dishonoring you, dishonoring marriage, and dishonoring God. Is why spanking seriously taught in Patriarchy circles? I know RC Sproul Jr. I read the same thing about RC Sproul Jr. There is a reason he ended up on Ashley Madison.

Wife spanking is abuse… No question about it! Jennifer, Does your husband keep you off balance? Often abusers and their commands are like moving targets. They will always find a reason that you have fallen short of their expectations. You never win this game.

I pray you find a safe place where you can find support and love which will help you discover the precious woman God has created you to be. I believes He weeps for those who are beaten down and and live in fear. I agree with every comment here. So as not to rehash those, I present an article I wrote on this subject, that I think might give a slightly different perspective. These are not small-time pastors but maga-church ones with large ministries, conferences, and many books, such as Dennis Rainy, Tim Keller, John MacArthur and more.

There is no circumstance in which this is NOT abuse. No matter what your husband says, and regardless of whether a pastor or anyone else — including friends and family — makes excuses for him, what you are experiencing is ABUSE. I strongly suggest that you find a way to leave. He enjoys controlling you, having power over you. Ask yourself what kind of person enjoys that. And I offer you hugs if you want them. But feel free to decline the offer, or to not take on anything I will say here if you wish.. I am sure you are right that being paddled is an unpleasant experience.

I think you are right to feel upset when you have been treated with injustice. That is a healthy and godly response to injustice! Jesus was upset about injustice, so you can be too! By making you afraid, he is not helping you freely love and be close to him, instead he is keeping you on guard, on edge. To make someone compliant by intimidating them is not love, it is an exercise of power and control. It sounds to me like you have become more biddable and compliant and that means there are few episodes of friction between you and him — but it sounds like most the adaptation has been on your side, and all the power and control has been on his side.

So your relationship with him is more like a child to a grown-up than an adult to an adult. I know these things are hard to think about and process, especially for one who has been brought up an family where physical discipline was the norm. But to use physical on an adult is, I think, highly disrespectful.

It is not conducive to mutual love, spiritual growth and christian maturity. I also suggest you might want to give thought to recalibrating your idea of what constitutes abuse. At our blog A Cry For Justice we have a definition of domestic abuse. You can find the blog at cryingoutforjustice. Sadly there are a number of churches, pastors, and Christians who will find scriptures to justify abusive behaviors of all kinds.

This is largely due to many who mix the Old Testament with the New Testament, and do not understand what Jesus came to accomplish. When we become saved, male or female, we become a child of God, receiving the Holy Spirit who helps us walk out our new life as believers. The Holy Spirit is the One responsible for teaching us and guiding us and lovingly convicting us of sin.

May God speak to your heart and draw you to see the truth of His word, His gospel the way he intended it to be.

Jennifer, fear of punishment does not make a marriage stronger. Fear just feeds the husbands twisted ego and makes his power and control over you over you stronger. Tell me, is your husband perfect? Does he never behave inappropriately or say anything out of line? I doubt it. When his behavior is inappropriate, who paddles him?
