God Fearing Husbands Encouraged to Spank Wives for Jesus
Read Time:2 Minute, 16 Second
It’s not a new sit-com, nor is it a new segment on crazy Pat Robertson’s 700 Club, although it could be. We’re talking about “Spanking for Jesus,” a movement otherwise known as Christian Domestic Discipline.
This is a Bible approved household arrangement, in which men dominate women using divinely-approved spankings. It sounds like a crude parody, but The Daily Beast estimates that thousands of couples have actually embraced the Christian Domestic Discipline way of life.
There are two websites devoted to Christian Domestic Discipline and both emphasize the absolute power of a husband over his wife, a situation that is purportedly supported by biblical teachings.
ChristianDomesticDiscipline.net defines the unusual relationship as a marriage “set up according to the guidelines set forth in the Holy Bible, meaning the husband has authority over his wife within the bounds of God’s Word and enforces that authority, if need be, through discipline including but not limited to spanking.”
ChristianDomesticDiscipline.com, on the other hand, defines the relationship as “simply a traditional, male-led, Christian marriage” in which “one partner is given authority over the other, and has the means to back up that authority, usually by spanking.”
A Beginning Domestic Discipline “Beginner’s Packet” reported on by Jezebel instructs husbands on how to best manipulate their wives using psychological tricks and corporeal punishment. The manipulation tactics range from taking away privileges like “going out with friends” to bare-bottomed spankings with a wooden paddle.
Surprisingly, many women seem to willingly enter into the Domestic Discipline lifestyle and approve of it. Those involved deny the punishments are domestic abuse.
“Most of the women who write about their CDD experiences online are not complaining,” Toronto-based writer Laura Rubino, who accidentally stumbled upon the practice earlier this month, noted. “Many of them report feeling extremely calm and relaxed after being disciplined, and believe it is an expression of their husband caring about them and their marriage, enough to help them modify their behaviour.”
Experts, however, view the household arrangement as little more than the symptom of disturbed minds. Forensic psychologist Jim Alsdurf told The Daily Beast that Christian Domestic Discipline appeared to be more of an unhealthy and distorted way to fulfill a suppressed sexual desire than a religious lifestyle.
“No fool in his right mind would buy this as a legitimate way to have a relationship,” Alsdurf said. “A relationship that infantilizes a woman is one that clearly draws a more pathological group of people.”
Oh those crazy Christians!

Wow~I take a few hours to go see Man of Steel (iMax and 3D) and come back to find out you guys have been having a lot of fun with this post! I love when that happens and it was a good movie, except for the silly, boring lovey parts which we could have done without 🙂
Oh you know you got a tingle when you saw the lovey stuff, don’t deny it.
At one time I would have gotten a tingle. Now, when such scenes come on, I tell my lovely companion: boring! 🙂
The women report feeling extremely calm and relaxed after being disciplined? WOW, I guess I could use some of that this week!
I would rather smoke weed than have a guy hitting me when I can’t hit him. That’s just me though, I’m crazy like that.
Who says you can’t hit back? I knew a woman who was being hit by her husband – often. One night she cold-cocked (nice phrase) with a frying pan, tied him up, and packed her and their son’s things and left.
He son was already one of my martial arts students, but I offered her a free membership. I knew she would be an inspiration to me to teach better every time I saw her in class.
The smoking weed thing would be a good idea for abusers. Maybe it should be a court-ordered prescription?
Nah, I’m talking about the consensual hitting on the bum stuff. The way these Xianists are doing it, only the guy gets to do the hitting, the woman has to deal. I wouldn’t let anyone hurt me in any way, without doing something about it as far as actual hitting like you describe. Good idea about weed scrips for abusers.
The key word is “consensual” that does change everyth8ing. I wonder exactly how consensual it is when the husband uses religion to obtain “consent?”
Maybe if the scrip read “anger inhibitor” it would be OK?
Works for me James. I know I do nothing that comes close to anger when I am high, exact opposite in fact. I’m like one of those ragdoll cats that melt into things 🙂 Consensual really does change it all doesn’t it? The more I think about this, I am becoming convinced it’s like that stupid Christian porn site I talked about a couple yrs ago. It was all about the men and the woman, if she happened to get off it was a bug not a feature. Seems to me they want to get their kink on but are ashamed of saying they are into harmless BDSM because others might find them weird or something. Like I say, let those freak flags fly people, you only get one go round on this blue ball and if that floats your boat well go for it.
LOL LOL!
We do that to protect women. Not exploit them Jess.
Porno Pete goes to gay sites though to make certain there is nothing going on in the land of “teh gheyz” with their alternative lifestyle as he calls it.
Bad enough the foul temptress Jess is insinuating I should spank her in the comment section of my story explaining the goodness of republican hypocrisy. Now this! This site is devolving into nothing more than a porn site. I shall continue to monitor.
I’ll do it here too if you want me to, Mike won’t mind 😉 Oh you and Porno Pete La Barbera, going to “porn sites” researching for science. Tis to be commended you God fearing Christian guys would be willing to sacrifice yourself like that.
roflmao. This is just their way of getting into BDSM without admitting that they are leaning toward what they would call perversion if it were anyone else. This is so full of hypocrisy that it smells all the way up to heaven, where ever that is.
Part of me thinks this is them wanting to get their kink on without saying they are all for getting their kink on. Other part says, wtf is it only the man doing the spanking, that sounds like bordeline, nay, abuse of a woman. People like this are ashamed to admit they like flying their freak flags and are all shy about sexytimes play. Goes with being a buttoned up religious person I suppose.
Yes, you can use the bible to justify anything. Spanking your spouse is only one. Rape, killing your children, genocide, destruction of entire civilizations so that “not one stone may stand upon another”.
All you have to do is search until you find something that might mean what you want it to mean, even if it requires a little “divinely inspired interpretation.”
Is it any surprise that the religious reich can justify anything, lying, killing, torture, all are “commanded by the lord!”
What’s the most horrible part is they are determined to impose this insanity upon everyone else, like it or not.
