May you burn in Hell, you heartless bastard...
Actually, may you be locked and chained in Satan's private quarters and be ass raped constantly by him for all eternity...
It shows how weak a man you are that you would beat up on a woman, one who is weaker than you and if that woman is seeking your protection, you "maintain proper rulership/headship of the Man in this home." if you ask me you chauvinistic pig, you can't show your manliness to your peers therefore you try to make yourself seem like a 'leader' or more of a 'man', by beating on your wife, really in today's society what you have shown is that you are weak instead of strong, all because you pray on the weak.
God has also stated to love thy neighbour, neighbour obviously meaning everyone around you, that's not always possible, but as long as you show kindness, courtesy and respect for everyone around you, that is all that is needed and you cannot do that by harming your 'wife'. Your wife is a part of 'you', if women were created from a man's rib, then technically you are beating on 'yourself'.
No need to take out your personal issues about yourself on your wife.
Save face, beat up on a punching bag, they are almost like a woman to beat, they can't fight back and an additional a plus is that you can beat it up for hours without killing it or it needing to go to hospital and also a bigger plus; it has no feelings.
Enjoy.
P.S: Women are far from weak, we have been projected as weak throughout the ages, but really behind closed doors, who is 'really' the one making the decisions, who is 'really' the one who is strong?
Actions speak louder than words, men may have the brawn but we have the emotional and mental capacities, men are incredibly smart, but because men have had the muscle, it has to be evened out somehow.
You have no good qualities to speak of, I wonder why God created you in the first place.
I pity you.
