Perhaps these women have poor self images. Some women find spanking sexually exciting.
From "Domestic Discipline at Odds With the Word of God":
"In some wives DD seems to spawn a loss of responsible behaviour. These women will "misbehave" because they feel the act is worth the punishment they will get for doing it. It's as if being spanked, or losing driving privileges for a couple of days, eliminates the wrong. It's free reign to do what ever you want, as long as you can deal with the punishment - I don't see that as being biblical.""DD can also look good to a woman who wants to be free from having to make decisions, or taking responsibility in life. All responsibility falls on the husband and the wife is relegated to child status. If she does not live up to her responsibility she gets a spanking, and that's the end of it. There is little effort or motivation to grow into a mature woman of God."
The Issue of Domestic Violence Within the Domestic Discipline Lifestyle
The number of battered women in the United States annually is between 2 and 4 million. It is estimated that at least 25% to 30% of American women are at risk of domestic violence during their lifetime.Such abuse is also devastating to their children who often feel helplessness and blame along with increased anxieties, more aggressiveness, and behaviorial problems.
When there is an attack on a person's self esteem or physical body, or when one partner becomes dominant in the relationship, the marriage is at risk for divorce.
Using words like punishment when relating to a spouse sets a couple up to become "feet and a doormat."
The wife turns into a doormat which is only good for wiping feet on. These marriages are doomed to have relationship problems. Some day she will have had enough.
