I believe it is ok with God, if you and your husband had agreed on what will work for you both. For me, it saved our marriage. It was 20+ years of contension & now it is bliss, peace, order and joy! I am truly his little princess who he protects and cherishes and he is my leader, lover, protector and i respect everything about him. He feels like a man & i feel like his princess. Now instead of reject me and fight with me - he puts his strong arms around me and tells me how much he loves me and then disciplines me. It is the only way for us. It is all love and respect. I work, I dress cute and wear makeup etc. I say all that because i wanted you to know i am not one of those woman who feels in anyway Less than a man. we are equal - its just that he is the authority. I do not believe holiness is outward. It is an issue of the heart. So if you want specifics email me. :)
 
Reading this thread made me feel utterly sick inside. Everything in me screams that it's just wrong...

Yep, me too....that doesn't show God's love at all. I don't know about you guys but God is very patient with me.I failt to him everyday and yet he LOVES me, he is there for me even knowing that I'm not perfect. The Jesus I know didn't come here punishing people, we came to know love because he loved us first...not because he punished us . How can you make someone love you if you don't love first? It's just ridiculous.

''We love because he first loved us'' 1 John 4:19.

Here's a definition I found that explains christian domestic discipline:

"Domestic Discipline is a lifestyle choice in which the husband is the head of the household and the wife submits to his authority and discipline. This discipline usually includes spanking as well as other consequences for certain behaviors determined by the couple. Though every couple practices DD in slightly different ways, the common threads include leadership based on trust and the acceptance of consequences by the submissive partner." (Christian Domestic Discipline FAQ)

That totally warps the biblical meaning of wives submit to your husband. Personally I like the verse least in the entire bible because of the modern spin. The literal translation of that verse would be..."wives be under the same mission as your husbands". Not the same as wives do exactly as your hubby says and allow him to hit you if you do not. It means that you and he should be on the same side, working towards the same goal.
 
Lol............I don't think that has something to do with God or the Bible; DD is not biblical. For most people (even christians), it's more sexual than religious. If two married couples enjoy what they do and agree on doing it, I don't think it's against God. I hate when people try to get verses from the bible to prove that DD is biblical because it's not.

Out of curiosity, because I'd never even heard of the concept, I did some reading after coming across the thread. I second what you say here. The fiction is particularly... interesting.

"Oh, Jacob," she started, "why do I feel this incredible right now? What did you do to me?"

"I just did what you wanted is all, " he replied, a bit mystified, but glad all the same of her unexpected reaction. "I just showed you how much I care for you and our relationship," he was quoting other folks he had read now, and he knew it, but it seemed to be going over okay with her, so he just went on holding her and stroking her back.

"How 'bout lets go to bed?" Marci asked with a bit of shyness, but even more eagerness in her voice. She was anxious to show Jacob all that was in her heart.

They say, of course, there's no depiction of sexual activity, but if spanking makes you hot and bothered, there's plenty of it. That's not the real problem for me, though.

If two married couples enjoy what they do and agree on doing it, I don't think it's against God.

Agreed. The problem for me is weird little sentences like the following:

Since that time, he had indeed spanked her when she had not met the exercise goals she had set for herself.

How can you call yourselves equal when you designate him as authority? Whatever happened to partnership/teamwork?
