and made a commitment to him to be a Godly submissive wife.
Needless to say, Mr. K. was blown away. His thoughts had been along the same line as his wife’s. He’d given up on the marriage and had started planning his life without her. He didn’t know what to think about his wife’s sudden turnabout, and truth be known, he didn’t trust it. His wife’s moods changed with the wind, she moved from one project to the next with mind-boggling speed, and she struggled to maintain even the smallest balance in her life. He feared this was just another of her fleeting ideas that would blow away when the wind next changed course.
But this was different… this was a God-change, and it didn’t go away. Mrs. K. still wrestled with balance, she still struggled to follow through on life, and still hopped from one often expensive idea to the next. Mr. K. loved her free-spirit but recognized it needed reined in if he was to lead in the marriage and the family.
Mrs. K. had spoken to her husband about what she’d been introduced to by her sister and learned more about via the internet... domestic discipline. He found it strange at first, but since he recognized a real need in his wife, he implemented it in their marriage. It wasn’t until later that he learned the value of it in helping his wife become more disciplined and focused. Once that realization set in, life improved dramatically for Mr. K. and the kids, as well as Mrs. K herself.
The preceding story is not a fictional account. It is my own testimony of how God used His plan and Christian Domestic Discipline (CDD) to save my marriage.
Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not recommending that couples use CDD to rescue a failing marriage. I’m recommending that couples use God’s Word to save their marriage. That may or may not include CDD.
However, a true CDD marriage begins with God’s Word. Before a couple should even consider something as radical as CDD, they must be committed to living in the roles God ordained for them. The husband needs to be in prayer and fellowship with the Lord, seeking His guidance for the family. The wife needs to be in prayer as well, especially for her husband, and she needs to be prepared to yield to his decisions even if they collide with her own will. In an ideal CDD marriage, the husband is following God and the wife is following her husband.
Perhaps you are at the place I was several years ago. Somehow you have learned about this thing called Domestic Discipline and it has clicked with you. Maybe you just want to learn a bit more about it, or maybe you even feel you want it in your life. Wherever you are in your journey, it is my prayer I will be able to answer your questions and give you lots of things to think about over the next few pages.
What is Christian Domestic Discipline?
Okay, first things first. If you are reading this book, you probably know that Domestic Discipline is a relationship between two people in which one of them has authority over the other and enforces that authority through discipline or punishment that often includes spanking .
A Christian Domestic Discipline is different in that it involves a married couple whose marriage is set up according to the Holy Bible. The husband in a CDD marriage is given authority over his wife and possesses the means to enforce his authority, and the wife agrees to submit to him in all things according to the Word of God.
Whereas the emphasis in a regular Domestic Discipline relationship is often on spanking, in a Christian Domestic Discipline relationship, the emphasis is on living in the roles God has assigned each partner in a marriage. The husband is required by God to love his wife as himself. The wife is required to submit to her husband as unto the Lord within the bounds of God’s Word. The husband is forbidden to be harsh with his wife, and the wife is forbidden to be disrespectful toward her
