One man's "corporal discipline" of wives is another's wife beating. Let's cut to the chase: What is your method in detail?

I've kind of wondered that myself.  Do you hold her over your knee and spank her, as you would a child?  Something more dramatic?  What?

And in this "idealized" environment, does she ever tell anyone?  Would she ever admit to it?  Would she ever tell the other wives, and if they were these "idealized" traditional Catholic wives, would they approve?  What would her thoughts be?  Would she think "I deserved that, I was bad, I need my husband to discipline me when I am bad"?  Or would it be a case of "I don't care what she thinks about it, I'm the husband and that's that"?

I'm just struggling to get my head around this concept.  I tend more to think that when a larger, stronger person overpowers a smaller, weaker person, all that has established, is that the big one can whip the little one.

And let's say your son is 6'3" and 165 pounds. How does that work?

I know I may be speaking heresy in the eyes of some, but I'm just asking questions.  I can probably count the number of times on one hand that my father ever gently chastised me, and have fingers left over.  I've heard of fathers forcing their sons to lie down on the bed and get whipped across the bare back with a belt.  How does that work?  Does the son reflect, on the day he buries his father, what a good father he had?

This probably isn't the week for me to be discussing the merits of different ways of fathering, but again, I'm just asking questions.

Is Croix back?
