I met two Christian couples who have been married for 2 years and 6 years respectively, the wife in the two year marriage  is unhappy. Both families belong to a strict Christian grouping that believes in Christian domestic discipline. In this the husband who is the head of the household is allowed to discipline his wife to correct her behaviour and remind her of the proper way a Christian woman is supposed to behave. This discipline usually takes the form of spanking the woman's bottom.

The problem for the woman complaining is that her husband according to her spanks her too much and that her buttocks are almost permanently sore.

The other lady ( married for 6 years) advised her to change her behaviour so that there would be no need for the husband to administer that many spankings. After some more discussion the sore bottomed woman agreed to try and amend her behaviour.

Now these couples are in Nigeria and I was sad that I had not joined this Christian thing. If more Nigerian women get spanked then marriages would last longer and the partners would be happier. As an aside you can learn more about this type of strict Christianity at websites like these:

I would appreciate your views, especially from those that actually live in Nigeria.

No you are wrong, there is abundant scriptural authority for it. It just requires couples willing to live their lives according to the scriptures.

Please answer this my question:

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

Your neighbor may not be a Christian, he or she may be a Muslim. You cannot force your religion on him or her. If they are of the same belief as you and accept to live by that belief, then yes, you can carry out the biblical injunction. When people accept to live by the living word of God
they take the good and the bad. It is a source of annoyance to most women that God did not embrace women's liberation. You and your sisters may want to rewrite the bible.

You are re writting the bible? did u read the verse i quoted properly? Where did it talk about religion?

u don kill me this night. kai. My nephew lies sometimes, maybe i should burn his tongue. Abuja Social welfare teke note, i want to obey the bible all liars should have a place in burning fire, make i show am the fire from here

well, I think it depends on the nature of the spanking. . .

where in the bible does it say to spank your wife?

the husband is clearly getting an unholy buzz out of the so-called spanking, imo.

This OP and his stories

The story sounds fishy.

Actually didn't read the verse, just answered your question. By the way what does "Na wa for u o, and your likes" mean?

Inked_Nerd:

@OP: That was a load of crap. No as the right to put their hands on anyone unless it is in self defense.

Yes, the things of God are usually crap to the Godless

You think everybody belongs to the money hungry churches we have in Nigeria?

everybody likes to interprete the bible the way it suits them just cos the hubby likes spanking bum he brings in the bible to justify his act of wickedness.thats abuse unfortunately seems the whole bunch in the church have been brainwashed if not, the wife would not be complaining of "too much spanking"but spanking fullstop.

We young women today are very headstrong and don't easily take correction. This most likely is why the husband finds he needs to spank her repeatedly.
Good Christian women should respect their husbands and follow the lead taken by their husbands. There is nothing wrong with a husband spanking his wife if the aim is to correct her.

By who?

Methinks no gentleman has the right to beat a lady, and certainly no crazy man of God.

@ topic >>> SMH >>> spank ur wife >>> SMH AGAIN !!!

Yes Christans can also spank that bootay. Its not limited to p0rn videos

@OP,

We xtians are allowed to give our wives, Uppercut, Clothesline, DDT, Headbutt etc

Spanking on the bom!
There's nothing christian in spanking your spouse for corrections, its utterly a misnomer to the teachings of Christianity,
The woman is supposed to be the man's better half, and they are supposed to work things out together, hand in hand, abi, maybe the man just like to dey tap current for im wife body

How can one post a topic on nairaland. Please.

Yeah, they are allowed to enjoy the fun that the ass spanking brings, but i hope the man shares in the spanking too,

Christianity never thought any man to spank, touch or beat his wife.
Christianity teaches love and endurance with forgiveness.

a kind of correction

By God, this is something ordained by God.

My sister, you are the only one that understands. Women sometimes women need their buttocks beaten to bring them to their senses.

I have posted links in the first post, the websites provide abundant scriptural references and explanations. Take a minute to read what is written there. You will learn a lot.

To spank here means to "cause pain to a person's buttocks" These are proper spankings meant to leave a lasting impression.
