| | BDSM in a Christian Marriage |
 | | Although BDSM can involve literal bondage (being hand-cuffed, tied up, etc.) and discipline (such as verbal chastisement or corporal punishment), it is best understood as a metaphorical relationship between husband and wife and in terms of spiritual submission, which is an important theme in the New Testament. |
 | | BDSM does not necessarily have to involve whips and chains, fl leather, or dungeon gear, although if they find these props help them get in the mood, there is not reason why Christians should not use them. |
 | | Despite the misleading impressions that such common BDSM practices as spanking, humiliation, and name-calling may give, they are only performed in the context of a loving relationship to fulfill the higher purpose of strengthening emotional, sexual, and spiritual bonds. |
