Christian Domestic Discipline guideline allows spanking and punishing of wives

A document on Christian Domestic Discipline encourages spanking and punishing of wives in order to maintain an orderly, Christian household.

When a follower of the Christian Domestic Discipline movement decides what to hit his God-fearing wife with, research is important.

These bits of information are among the tips and tricks detailed in the Beginning Domestic Discipline's "Beginner's Packet," a 54-page document that lays out the basic principles and practices of CDD, the Huffington Post reported.
