Ah, you do not believe that Bible is the word of God, so obviously you are not a Christian. That is my fault that I did not realize that from the start.
You read the words, but you are blind to the truth. As 2 Timothy 3:16 clearly shows, it was not Paul that wrote Ephesians. Paul merely held the pen, Jesus did the writing. Just as in every bit of the Scripture.
2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
So it's not Paul's opinion that women must subject to their husbands, it is a command from Jesus Himself.
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Anyway, you are mixing two different things here. Violence and discipline. It's not violence to discipline your wife or your children as God commands. It is in fact an act of love. We are also familiar with the cleansing power of bruises.
Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 20:30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
