we participate in it. I acknowledge my husband as head of household, he has the last say in things. When I screw something up, I lose certain privileges for a time.

I know what it is but don't exactly agree with some of its concepts. My husband is the head of the household and the final decisions are usually left up to him but for the most part, WE run our house. We talk about everything and come to an agreement on how to handle things together. I don't agree with physically disciplining another adult.
Here is what I found to describe it for those who don't know what it is:
Let's start with the basic premises of DD. There are some variations, but these seem to be the main beliefs:
The husband is in authority over his household and has the right/responsibility to discipline his entire household, including the wife.
DD is "responsible authority," meaning that if the husband is to have authority then he must be able to take action and mete out consequence in a tangible form.
Discipline is seen as a practical expression of love, a proactive way of helping a wife to grow and mature; motivating her to re-align her priorities so that she will not end up in mediocrity.
Discipline is expressed in loss of privileges, spanking, corner time, and writing appropriate sentences multiple times. DDers may include prayer, godly examples, and encouragement in their list of ways to discipline.
Those who practice DD base their stance on scriptures:
Old Testament scriptures that describe God chastising his "adulterous" people (spiritual wife). DDers see a parallel of this in a husband's responsibility to chastise his wife.
Hebrews 12:5-11, Proverbs 10:13b, 13:24 and similar scriptures. DDers see this as God commending the use of discipline and by extension physical discipline.
Eph 5:22-25 Wives ought to submit to their husbands as the church is subject to Christ: DDers feel this command for wives to submit to their husbands is validation that a wife should submit to his use of physical punishment.
DDers deny that:
discipline, including physical discipline, is for children only.
DD has anything in common with BDSM, abuse, master/slave relationships, erotic pain, or sexual play.
DD is degrading to women.
DD interferes with the one flesh union God calls couples to.
Those who practice it, extol DD because:
they believe it to be in obedience to God's Word.
they see it as a part of God's plan for protection of women, and the exercise of authority over her.
they see it as a way of motivating a woman to change/grow.
it helps women to not seek control or inappropriate leadership, and teaches submission.
it makes peace in the home, children will not see their parents fighting as the father has ultimate authority.
it specifies limits of physical discipline, so that there will be no physical abuse.

From what the above answer stated... it sounds nuts! Really are there women out there that are into this? I thought women were smarter and keener than abiding by such idiocracy.
DD = Dumba$$ Dopes!
