Excerpts From An Ivy League StudyMy interviews of dozens of wives in successful marriages in the counties with the least divorces per capita revealed that Laura was not alone in invoking Domestic Discipline as an important aspect of a happy and lasting marriage. Almost unanimously the wives of all ages agreed that Domestic Discipline administered by their Husband was an important part of their cherished marriage. Laura retrieved this stiff strap from the top of her refrigerator and flexed it for me with a look of reverence. In other interviews some wives pointed to carefully hung paddles on kitchen walls or coiled belts within easy reach. Still more wives would bring out sturdy wooden spoons or heirloom family hairbrushes while others toured me around backyards with mature trees that furnished switches on demand. One wife showed me a slim cane that was discreetly stored in a linen closet and another wife simply removed her slipper and showed me the smooth rubber sole. -- source link
