weeklyrecapmay1319

  It's Sunday, and here at Learning Domestic Discipline that means it's Weekly Recap time!  We had an exciting week with yet another new feature and download for readers to enjoy.  This time the download isn't something to read - it's something to listen to!  Let's get you all up to speed with the latest happenings here at LDD.

WeeklyRecapPostList

Mailbag Monday: Week 7 - Working though difficult HoH emotions, getting in a "submissive state of mind", and leaving marks after spankings are all topics addressed in this week's round of Mailbag Monday questions - perhaps the most challenging set of questions to date.  

Introducing the Learning Domestic Discipline Podcast Series! - We do our best to embarrass ourselves in a 45 minute downloadable podcast that covers the LDD definition of domestic discipline, the pros and cons to living the lifestyle, and much more.  It's our first ever podcast, so we welcome any and all feedback that will help us in improving future podcasts!

Five Things Friday: Middle of the Month Edition - A milestone for Chelsea, two upcoming months full of holidays and celebrations, and a Pinterest site that will strike your funny bone in this week's Five Things Friday post.

Weekly Recap: May 6th - 12th

mothersdayweeklyrecap

  Another week is in the books! But, before we get into the weekly recap, we want to wish all the mothers out there a very happy Mother's Day! As parents ourselves, we know how hard you work and you deserve this special day- we hope everyone has a great Mother's Day! 

  This week's Mailbag Monday questions were really difficult to answer, and if you missed the Saturday Stories post, it's one that we feel every wife wanting or considering domestic discipline should read.  We think a lot of experienced couples will be able to relate to it as well.  Let's get you all caught up with this week's LDD content!


WeeklyRecapPostList

Mailbag Monday: Week 6 - We opened up about some things we personally struggle with in our own domestic discipline marriage, and we got a question that raised some concerns in this week's Mailbag Monday.  A reader was also kind enough to make us aware of a great new app!

Punishing When the Wife is Angry - Clearly it's important that the HoH not punish when he's angry, but what about times when the wife is angry?  We discuss and explore this topic and offer a way to work through the problem if you ever find yourself in that situation.

Saturday Stories: "The Reality of Starting Domestic Discipline" - Guest writer Liza wrote a wonderful article about having false expectations when first starting out with the domestic discipline lifestyle in this week's Saturday Stories feature.


WeeklyRecapPost2
  • Over 11,000 votes have been cast for the LDD Retreat location.  Have you cast your vote yet?  Cast your vote here!
  • The DD Wives Club is getting closer to completion. We're building our own databases, so it's taking a lot longer than anticipated.  We know a lot of you are excited about it, and we are too!  Thanks for being so patient with us as we put it all together.  It'll be worth the wait!  In the meantime, you can sign up for the LDD Network here (your membership will automatically transfer over to the DD Wives Club).  Here's some information about the LDD Network if you aren't familiar with it.
  • Unless we get an overwhelming number of requests for it, we're going to cancel our plans to create a comment archive.  It's a TON of work to do, and we're not feeling as though it would be worth the time and effort.  We'd rather use that time and effort on a bigger project that would better benefit the community.  We apologize for any disappointment this may have caused anyone.
  • The LDD Springtime Promotions are currently running, and they offer TWO new products!  Find the right package for you(Promos end on June 1st, 2013)
We're looking forward to next week!  See you all tomorrow for Week 7 of Mailbag Monday.

Blended Spankings

We've literally waited two years to write this post.  Waiting that long to write this post was planned, and intentional.  Why?  Well, because we felt it would have been irresponsible to post it any earlier than that, and we also feel a domestic discipline couple really needs to know what they're doing before considering spanking this way. We feel "blended spankings" are most effective after a strong, healthy, and efficient foundation of domestic discipline (and spanking) has been established in a relationship/marriage first.

A couple needs to be completely comfortable with all aspects of spanking before considering spanking like this.  We recommend that both partners completely understand how the other responds to different implements and different spanking positions.  A couple needs to know how each other handles themselves in different spanking situations.  A couple needs to know how to, and be able to, differentiate the seriousness of an offense by varying the intensity of the spanking.  "Blended spankings" are most effective when the husband understands how to effectively lecture.  We also feel that the husband needs to understand the pain tolerance and pain threshold of his wife, and that the wife needs to have mastered being "submissive."  She needs to be outstanding at cooperating with any and all direction from her husband in spanking situations before considering "blended spankings."

The bottom line is this - we strongly feel that a couple needs to be experienced with spanking and needs to know exactly how spanking works best in their relationship before spanking this way.

WeeklyRecapPostList

Mailbag Monday: Week 3 - Questions about the initial "power shift" dynamic, practicing DD when apart, and how much time this site actually requires from us are answered in this week's Mailbag Monday.

  • Let us not forget the many men, women, and children that lost their lives, as well as the 300+ others that were injured in the Boston bombings and the Texas Fertilizer Plant explosion this past week.  It was a tragic week for the United States, and China as well (an earthquake claimed the lives of over 150 people).  Our hearts go out to all of those affected, and we'll continue to pray that the families find peace and comfort in this time of unbearable grief and heartache.  May God bless all of the victims and those close to them.
We hope you all have a safe, healthy, and happy upcoming week!

Two New LDD Products Available Through the Spring Promos!!



You may have been expecting a "Saturday Stories" article today as part of the new LDD posting schedule, however we interrupt your regularly scheduled article for an exciting announcement:

  
  That's right - the LDD Spring Promos have launched, and they offer not one but TWO exciting new products!!
Consistently Inconsistent


Consistently Inconsistent is a brand new eBook from us, Clint and Chelsea, offered exclusively through the Learning Domestic Discipline promotion website.

DESCRIPTION: Being consistent with domestic discipline can be a challenge for a lot of couples, particularly when first starting out with the lifestyle.  It seems every domestic discipline couple struggles with consistency at one point or another, and, naturally, it can be extremely frustrating to deal with and overcome.  In our new Consistently Inconsistent eBook, we examine and break down the most common reasons inconsistency occurs and offer solutions to resolving an inconsistency problem once and for all.  It's time to take a stand against the most devastating domestic discipline problem that couples face.  It's time to take a stand against inconsistency and rid your domestic discipline relationship of it forever!

The LDD Beginner Boot Camp Workbook


The LDD Beginner Boot Camp Workbook is the companion to the brand new "Domestic Discipline Boot Camp For Beginners" eBook written by us, Clint and Chelsea, offered exclusively through the Learning Domestic Discipline website. 

DESCRIPTION: Outlined within the new beginner boot camp eBook is a comprehensive list of 25 relationship building exercises designed to promote and enhance important relationship components such as communication, trust, and appreciation (among others).  From this comprehensive list, couples choose a number of exercises to incorporate into their own personal boot camp experience.  This workbook provides sample templates and numerous helpful examples to help spring those homework assignments into action.  Everything a couple needs to complete the boot camp homework assignments is found right here in this workbook!


The Spring Promotions also offer the following eBooks at special discounted prices...

Domestic Discipline Boot Camp For Beginners


DESCRIPTION: Domestic Discipline Boot Camp for Beginners is tailored for couples either just beginning the domestic discipline lifestyle, or those in the early stages of their domestic discipline journey together. Beginner boot camp includes seven exercises that cover all basic punishments within the lifestyle, and includes a comprehensive list of 25 “homework assignments” for couples to choose from that are designed to promote communication, trust, love, respect, and affection between partners. Two days and a loving commitment are all that are needed to establish a healthy domestic discipline plan for your relationship. Are you ready to get started on the path to a healthy domestic discipline relationship?

A How-To Guide to Domestic Discipline Boot Camp


DESCRIPTION: A How-To Guide to Domestic Discipline Boot Camp outlines an intense and challenging 2-5 day relationship experience tailored to more experienced couples in the domestic discipline lifestyle. The “no tolerance” policy within boot camp targets and establishes a healthy domestic discipline power dynamic, and addresses common domestic discipline issues such as inconsistency in the head of the household and repeat defiance from the submissive partner. Four spanking exercises per day of boot camp address and correct common spanking problems, and four “homework assignments” per day of boot camp promote and nourish existing relationship components such as communication, respect, love, and trust. The boot camp experience may be a challenge, but establishing a safe, healthy, and effective domestic discipline dynamic will ensure your relationship remains stable, secure, and happy for many years to come.


  Don't forget the other exciting news here at Learning Domestic Discipline, too - the LDD Retreat site launches soon!
