It may appear amazing, but it's real.
Many christian followers teach the methods and the biblical origins of "christian domestic discipline" which mean how you can correct wife and kids behaviors.
Jewish rabbis also developed the question of domestic discipline and when wives should corrected by action in the Halaka.

Domestic Discipline in a Christian Marriage
In the marriage relationship there is a past practice that I am sure you must have heard of which is called accountability or proactive love model of marriage. Today it is quite controversial and consists of a loving Christian husband using his authority and headship in a marriage in a very proactive, non-passive way to help his wife grow and mature spiritually. She is expected to submit and he is to love and protect her - both following the roles that Bible Believing Christians always agree upon.
What makes this model unique in the current times and culture is that the husband, in order to love his wife, has decided to use what might be called "God mirroring" or "practical godliness" - in other words, a following of God's methods of how He uses authority, and how God expects and tells mere humans to carry out their delegated authority.
This leads to physical discipline to lovingly keep the wife accountable to her master's God given authority. After these marriage relationships have been living with the husband as head and the wife in subjection to his authority, the wife always desires greatly to have this type of relationship with her husband, feeling that the husband is showing practical love when he corrects her with physical and painful discipline for sinful habits or other various things. She wants to be in subjection and so obeying means allowing discipline in any way her master/husband determines is necessary.
The discipline of a master/husband is not based on hitting with fists or fighting in general and in fact is potentially to help avoid improper male aggression and abusiveness of that sort. Instead, the husband has the right to thoughtfully use Biblical chastising to help correct his wife, arguing that it cannot be abuse since God gives merit to human leaders using discipline in the outwork of authority.
