The next time someone gets on our case regarding Ayah 4:34, be sure to refer them to this page, Christian Domestic Discipline, and ask them to explain the double standard. :) From the CDD home page:
A domestic discipline marriage is one in which one partner in the marriage is given authority over the other and has the means to back the authority, usually by spanking.
A Christian Domestic Discipline marriage is one that is set up according to Biblical standards; that is, the husband is the authority in the household. The wife is submissive to her husband as is fit in the Lord and her husband loves her as himself. He has the ultimate authority in his household, but it is tempered with the knowledge that he must answer to God for his actions and decisions. He has the authority to spank his wife for punishment, but in real CDD marriages this is taken very seriously and usually happens only rarely. CDD is so much more than just spanking. It is the husband loving the wife enough to guide and teach her, and the wife loving the husband enough to follow his leadership. A Christian marriage embodies true romance and a Christian man a true hero.
Though this seems unusual in today's United States, this kind of marriage has been practiced throughout history and is still practiced in many parts of the world today.

Yes, I need a husband to "guide" me or I'll certainly be lost...
Since I put up this post three days ago, I'm rather surprised at how much traffic it's generated in such a short time. For example, 11 hits in the past 15 hours. (Only Lisa Lynette Clark has generated more hits - 13 - in the same time frame ... but that's no surprise; people are always curious about her.)
I'm not sure why there should be such an interest among Christians in spanking (domestic discipline), but the interest is definitely there. Perhaps one of the Christians visiting this post could explain why.
Those True Christians who believe the Bible know how Satan & his forces can take over the wife more easily than the lord husband.
Loving the wife as Christ loves the church will be inclusive of 'chastening' - Domestic Discipline when necessary.
There is NO 'equality' in the home, rather there is lordship submission of the wife to the husband 'even as unto the Lord'!
Those wicked souls that desire NOT to be corrected/disciplined shall burn in Hell. Rebels are not allowed in the Heaven of Yahvh.
