Punishment for not listening

We women know how difficult it sometimes is to listen, and not to do as we see fit, but as our husbands do. Don't we all think at times we are the better judges of the situation, when we should know from the Scriptures as well as from experience that we aren't ?

I made this mistake again recently... My husband asked me to do a little chore, and I, thinking it was not exactly a priority, did not get around to it that particular day. The next day, I had already forgotten about it, and so it never got done. Days later he had to remind me again, and I had to admit that indeed, I completely forgot about it, that I did not think it important enough to even make a note about it, quite obviously, so that I would do it the next day and not forget.

As this is not a matter to be taken lightly, as we are to be obedient in the small things just as much as in the great things, so this incident was followed by discipline. As usual, the actual act of disciplining was postponed for a day to give me the chance to ponder and write about my mistake.

We are to listen to our husbands because God says so. Women walk the wrong ways if they follow their own decisions, and lead others astray if they try to lead others, the family or otherwise, and the bible is very plain about all this. Eve was the one who was deceived, not Adam. Of course Adam had his part in the fall too, but Eve's part is what we are concerned with here. She disobeyed, followed her own ideas, and it got her and Adam thrown out of the garden, and all earth needed redemption after her trespass.

So when I had pondered all this and wrote a confession, my husband told me to gt ready for the disciplining. I did and presented myself before him with bare hindquarters so that he could administer three slaps, and as usual he asked in between the slaps what my mistake had been this time, if I understood what was wrong about it, and if I was going to be completely obedient and listen to everything he said, wish or command, and leave it up to him to decide which chores have priority and which can wait.

It is sad to say, but obviously, we women need to be reminded of these things more often than we should think we do... I hope my little post will help you, esteemed female reader, to avoid similar mistakes and thus punishment.

Proper Implements for Punishment

I've been pondering as to what exactly is the best instrument to utilize for correction of my wife. Up until now I have been using my hand on her bare butt and nothing more, and yet it seems as though at times this is hardly effective at all. I stick with three swats, and no more than that, but using my hand has not been completely effective in helping my wife overcome her negative habits, and so I am considering alternatives.

Other possibilities are a plastic ruler (the yardstick broke), a hairbrush, or a small rod (switch) from one of the maples in the back yard. I am thinking to give the maple a try and see how that goes. I wonder what everyone else uses.

Confession Concerning Lying, Yet Again



Psa 51:6 "Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom."

It should not be necessary to write this confession, but it is - I lied again to my husband. Honesty is a difficult thing sometimes, it seems, even though this should not be so.

Sometimes it is difficult to admit to something that is embarrassing or shameful, but that is of course no excuse. Lying is of the devil, and nothing gives me as my husband's wife an excuse to lie to him.

I should have known that lying was much worse than what I did wrong, and we had lots and lots of discussions about lying, about the instances in the bible where it is not portrayed as sin, and why liars are still going to burn in the lake of sulfur.

I ask my Master for forgiveness, repent from my failure yet again, and pray to God for forgiveness, that He may strengthen me to work on the obvious problem I still have in this area.

Of course, punishment was due, after the anger had subsided. When my husband came back from work, after dinner when the atmosphere was somewhat relaxed again, he had me close the curtains in the whole house and then take off all my clothes. I was standing in the living room, had to bend over, and he spanked me with his hand. He did it so hard I started crying with the first slap already. I could hardly answer his questions anymore, but did my best to speak through the tears. His hand left marks on my butt. After the last slap, I dressed again, crying, and with a burning and stinging butt. It lasted for quite a while, as a matter of fact, my butt was still tender the next morning.

It is a bad thing if there is need for punishment, and I am thankful to my beloved husband that he takes the responsibility upon himself to spank me if needed. I am called to be a good help meet and to do my best to assist my Master in his calling, and to be pure and unblemished before God, and a good example to our children and everybody else in the household. I lacked in all three areas, and am truly sorry, and repent.

Calling all Patriarchs

Let's face it, and face it now, Christian men. Biblically speaking, men are called to lead, women are called to be submissive and to follow their husbands lead. It's that simple.

Now that we have faced that particular truism, what about this: Men are, since Adam, inclined to kick back and scratch themselves, and women are inclined to do the leading. This comes straight from the Garden of Eden, and has continued pretty much since that time, regardless of what the feminists want us to believe.

However, this is not the way it was intended to be, and many men are waking up, taking back their proper place in the home, and leading their families in a Biblical way. There are many facets to such a responsibility. The one particular aspect we want to explore on this blog is that these fledgling patriarchs need to get a handle on their women!

Well, this blog is dedicated to exploring one of the options a biblical patriarch has when it comes to taking the lead in his family and making sure that things go according to plan. It's called Christian Domestic Discipline, or CDD for short. Most times it conjures images of a good old fashioned spanking, but could involve other things, such as a loss of privileges. I hope that others will find this blog, and share and learn and contribute to a fully Christian understanding of the role of the discipling husband.

Note* Domestic Discipline, as we are discussing it here, involves a man and his wife, who are both willing to submit theirselves to the authority placed over them. Christ over the man, the man over the woman. In no way do we advocate a man striking his wife in anger, or being abusive in any way shape or form.

Actually, there are many Christian women who actively seek a husband who is strong, and willing to take full responsibility for the family, and it sometimes includes the spanking or discipline of the wife. The wife must be willing to submit herself to her husband as the bible says she is. So I hope there are some other people out there who are interested in discussing this topic.
