Should Christian women obey their husbands?

[Mojo]

Somebody track down the woman at 18:10.
She’s looking for a biblical husband.

Yes, as a Christian wife and mother, I certainly obey my husband. I think besides God sanctioning it that it is the natural way a Christian home should be run and a woman must learn her place under her husband and become submissive to him in all things.

I also believe a wife should receive a harsh spanking when she disrespects her husband or disobeys the rules.

At a certain age the children should know that a times Mom too is spanked for wrong behavior and that she is held to the same rules as they are.

I honor God by honoring my Husband and when I fall short he is man enough to teach me the right way and that my behavior is unacceptable and I bend and accept his tenderizing my bottom to teach me a good lesson in obedience or respect.

What consenting adults do in private, is their business, however we seen the teaching of this as very problematic - very open to abuse in men who aren't in control, and absolutely abusive if the wife isn't in agreement. (And also just dumb then, as you are handing her the keys to your life to use any way she pleases. We know 3 men who heard this taught, in the last 2 years, thought is sounded good to them, and then promptly loss access their house and their kids. And of course their wives.) If she IS in agreement, then you don't really need this. If you both WANT it, fine, but keep it to yourselves.

BTW, God told us to not spare the rod on our children, there is no equivalent direction for wives, anywhere in the Bible.

That said, we're aren't having this discussion at BF any more. Locking thread, and will hide it soon, I think Mojo missed a video link, he can restart the thread.

Edit: I want to be clear I'm referencing the domestic discipline here - of course it's Biblical for women to obey their husbands. And for husbands to love them in such a way that they will want to follow, and not have to be bullied into it.
