It was effective dear child. He never beat her again, the family unity remained intact where he was an integral part of the incredible love & support to the family unit. He, much like you I assume, grew up with an abusive father who justified his cruelty and I thank God that this cycle of abuse was stopped so the sons of the family do not continue in abuse of women. Now, he never thought it was ok to do what he did, in fact, he had great remorse and didnt even want to accept the fact that he did this. Some times you have to shock someone so they fully understand the impact of their actions. Yes I celebrate her for not becoming a victum. Oh & btw I totally & completely and fully LOVE her agressor. You, young man, can not go in to a realationship thinking it is your right to abuse your wife. As I drove up the driveway from dropping off my boys I praised God for my husband... for the sight of my home being the sight of safe refuge, warmth & acceptance not fear. I try to be a wife of nobel charactor who is uplifting and supporting to my husband. There are times when i fail and I praise the Lord that I dont have to endure a calm slap because of this. my husband is 6'2 and 200lbs. I'm pretty sure even a calm slap issued with absolutely no emotion attached to it would hurt badly. (I'm not quite sure how that is possible the no emotion thing... but if it were it would still be quite the hit) I apologise for the way I responded to you before, we are to speak the truth in love. I sincerely hope that you change your opinion on this and that you make the decision to make your home the place where, when your wife is alowed to leave (say to get groceries or go to a school function), when she returns she is joyful that she is home and not fearful over what she may have said or done.

That's a whopper of an assumption, you know.
I'm not surprised. From your description it sounded quite terrible.
I don't think anyone has a right to abuse anyone. Either we're just talking past each other or we have a different understanding of what constitutes abuse.
That's okay, I know it's quite an emotive issue. I can't help but think that somewhere along the line there has been a gross misunderstanding (especially given your extreme examples and turns of phrase).
I don't see why that would require me to change my opinion.

I have seen some out of control women, saved and unsaved. I am of the opinion that when they were little girls their dad needed to lovingly and consistently pull them into line. Now it is far too late.(I got to know a christian girl well who was out of control in some ways. she explained that her brother was disciplined but you never hit little girls. She was really very self centred)
