Roles
In a CDD marriage, the positions of husband and wife are clearly defined as the man being the loving authority and the woman being submissive to her husband. While the husband does have authority in the household, he has to justify his actions and decisions before God.[1]
The husband acts as a loving guide and teacher to his wife, but he also has the authority to punish, a power that is voluntarily given to him by his wife. It is recommended that CDD is only undertaken where there is mutual consent.
Acceptance and Influence
The concept of a Christian Domestic Discipline marriage at first appears to be unusual in today's times, but it is practiced even today in many parts of the world.[1][2]
Concern
CDD has been criticized for jumping from the roles of husband and wife in obeying God's Word to the applying a standard of Domestic Discipline that does not have the same biblical backing.[3]
