This is how it all started:
About a year or so ago, I read in a magazine where men have lost their touch with how to control the activities inside the home. Fairly, the article I read spoke about how men and women have become equally viable and important financial sources for the family and how the two of them (man and wife) now share equal responsibilities and how they should respect one another equally in terms of financial importance. But the article (and you’ll soon read how it transformed me) did bring up something I interpreted as very key. It said men are losing their importance within the walls of the house, and how this is exacerbating the plight of ignorance in modern children. Basically, men are not ruling the barn like they once did and women, asserting their increasing influence, are starting to make key decisions that are not proving to be successful. This article wasn’t really knocking modern men as much as it was trying to remind us of our historical importance as head of the family. Women, the article tries to convey, birth the children but after that the men are inherently better fit in determining the child’s upbrinding. When I read the article it struck a chord only Beethoven could probably duplicate. It was one of those moments when a human is told about something he or she has felt deep in their bones but had never heard anyone about anyone else feeling the same way. I think you understand now how the article struck me.
The solution, it said, was to set up rules for the house (for the wife) and enforce them through spankings. If the wife gets out of hand she gets a spanking. If the wife tries to direct the child too much without masculine approval she gets a spanking. If the wife gets out of line in any way the husband thinks is inappropriate she gets a spanking . That said, I thought the article was right and that it could maybe spice my marriage up, so I jumped on board wholeheartedly. I wrote a "Constitution" for the house and got her to sign it. I wrote out "laws of the house" she was to not break and if they were broken I wrote down how many spankings she would get for each offense. I said she would have a right to defend herself, but similar to Guantanomo, I would be the ultimate judge and she’d have to accept my verdict.
It has messed our marriage up. I thought it would simultaneously be a way to spice up our marriage and keep control of our house but I’m literally swatting her almost every night. And the more she squirms the harder it causes me to swat her. I know lots of people (women) get turned on by spankings, so I thought she would come to appreciate it. But–and I will admit this much–I’ve gotten a little out of control with how hard I’m hitting her bare bottom. It’s a big turn on for me and it seems to enforce my role in the house, but she’s not taking it like I’d hoped. For instance, she’ll unknowingly say something out of line then look at me and know what’s coming later that night. And, of course, as I believe in the system now, I spank her hard later that night. She doesn’t bleed or anything but her buttucks is reguarly pink and swollen after I get through with it.
Can someone tell me how to stay man of the house with these rules and not have my wife and her love drift away from me? My wife isn’t about to leave me, but she’s not taking these spankings very well.
Am I wrong in trying to control the house entirely? Should I give up my "constitution" and let her have more influence over the kids?
Sometimes she likes the spankings, on good nights, but overall I can tell she doesn’t like getting a spanking every night.
