It appears Pastor Piper is completely ignorant of the etiology of domestic violence. This is an area he’d probably best leave to professionals who deal in this particular family dysfunction. I would be very afraid if I were a married woman in his church. Incidentally, I wonder what “a season” is and how much one has to endure? Is the one smack one smack or a series of smacks? Suppose you add children into the mix? And this is somehow less bad than if a husband asks his wife to perform what might be considered sinful and adulterous sex acts? He should be required to spend a week in a shelter for battered spouses.
