'''Christian Domestic Discipline''' ('''CDD''') is an uncommon practice within [[marriage]] based on some interpretations of the [[Holy Bible]] in which the husband enforces his authority on his wife through [[corporal punishment]] or other forms of discipline.<ref name="gotquestions">{{cite web |url=https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-domestic-discipline.html |title=What is Christian domestic discipline (CDD)? |accessdate=2019-09-08}}</ref> It is distinct from the mainstream conservative Christian doctrine of [[complementarianism]], whose supporters affirm traditional [[gender role]]s and the authority of husbands but do not endorse the use of [[corporal punishment]] on wives.<ref name="gotquestions"/>

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.
