'''Domestic discipline (DD)''' is the practice of interspousal [[discipline]] with an emphasis on [[spanking]] as a [[punishment]]. Practitioners argue that domestic discipline is distinct from both [[domestic abuse]], and activities such as [[erotic spanking]] and  [[Domination & submission (BDSM)|domination and submission]].

Advocates argue that, when implemented ideally, DD is the loving, consistent use of [[discipline]] as a positive way to enhance communication, deepen intimacy and reinforce relationship commitment.  The discipline would normally include [[physical punishment]] but centres around rules of behaviour laid down by one party and nominally agreed to by the other.

As a relationship style, it is often seen as a stylised form of 'traditional' relationship intended to help the woman overcome negative behaviours that harm herself, her relationship or others.  In creating loving limits to her behaviour and firm consequences for harmful activities, it aims to improve the relationship over time and demonstrates a loving connection and physical correction from a caring partner.
