You are God's. He has deigned to let you roam this earth for a short time, but make no mistake, He created you for a purpose. Perhaps if you read the Holy Bible you would begin to understand that spanking isn't a matter of holding a woman down, but lifting her up.

Submitting to my husband and learning to respect him, as God said for wives to do (Eph. 5:22-24 for one example), strengthened my marriage, and maybe even saved it from disaster. I love my husband. I'm thankful that God pointed out to me His design for marriage, because I had somehow overlooked those verses before.
It's not easy though, to submit to my husband, especially without there being a consequence for disrespect or hurtful words and actions. If I keep it up, then I run the risk of "tearing down my house with my own hands" like a fool (Proverbs 14:1). I do keep praying and trying, but I have to stay very aware of the issue, or I slip into disrespect again. Given the choice between my husband shutting me out (which is what he sometimes does now) and eventually leaving me, or turning me over his knee and spanking my rear end, causing it to sting and me to cry... I'll take the spanking any day of the week. I would prefer it. To me, it's an active intervention to say, "You will NOT jeopardize our love and our marriage with reckless words."
