CHRISTIAN DOMESTIC DISCIPLINE 101
Mrs. K. was depressed. Married with three beautiful children, she had every reason to be happy, but instead she felt intensely lonely. Her life was not turning out as planned. Her husband seemed to hate her no matter what she did, and her children… well, they were getting older and had lives of their own. Life for Mrs. K. seemed incredibly empty.
Mr. and Mrs. K. had yet another of their late-night quarrels that usually started out as something small and grew to terrible proportions by the argument’s end. The next morning, Mrs. K. packed up all the kids and headed to her mother’s house to think things over. It was obvious things weren’t working out, and Mrs. K. was ready for a change.
But she was terribly sad when she remembered how it had all started out. Mr. and Mrs. K. met at church and established their marriage based on the Word of God. They’d been very happy those early years. Then somehow they got off track. Neither of them could put their finger on it, but they’d forgotten how to get along with each other. Worse yet, as the marriage faltered, so did their relationship with God, until finally their marital problems seemed insurmountable. They were just too different. They didn’t think alike anymore. They disagreed on the tiniest of issues. Unless God intervened, the marriage was at an end.
Mrs. K. tried to pray that weekend, but she was so far from God that all she could do was send up scattered fragments of prayer that sounded a lot like, “God, help us. Please…” So she spent a lot of time deep in thought, trying to get in touch with herself if not with God.
Her younger sister, who lived near their mother, introduced Mrs. K. to some of the spanking stories and websites on the internet and something seemed to click. Mrs. K. had always wished for a strong, authoritative man to take her in hand, and she decided that was just what she needed. She would divorce Mr. K and find herself a man who was strong and wise. Someone who could curb her free-spirit without breaking it… someone she could love and trust…
someone like…
her husband.
The realization nearly took her breath. All along she’d lived with her dream man, and she’d all but destroyed him. She remembered now why she’d fallen in love with him to begin with. He had all the dominant qualities she instinctively knew she needed and wanted in a man, yet the past few years, she’d despised those very same qualities in her husband.
Mrs. K. had to repent. She asked God for forgiveness first and spent time in the Bible re-studying what she already knew but had forgotten. Then she went to her husband, asked his forgiveness as well,
