Christians are literally the children of God; Christian wives are literally the children of their husbands; and children must be chastened with a literal rod. There's no interpretation here. It's spelled out, black and white.
I don't know if you were trying to find your way to that understanding. I expect you to speak to your husband and explain the situation to him.
And I don't want to hear that you waited until he left town and then called him on the telephone.

Thank you for your timely correction. You are, of course, right. In my haste to reassure the heathen than one need not find a specific verse in the Holy Bible that says, "God says you, Thomas, of Dearborn, Michigan, may hit your wife, Karen, when you deem she's being an insufferable nag, you know what I'm talking about" doesn't mean that wives can expect to get away with being insufferable nags to their husbands. Mr. Etheldreda has already been notified of my error thanks to the rapid Prayer Circle and Stumbling Buddy System of Landover Baptist Church. I have been on the phone all afternoon reassuring my sisters in Christ that I have not been taken up by the Feminazi Mind Virus.
