Suleiman -> RE: Punishment (11/9/2004 9:20:54 PM)

I presume, of course, you mean some form of behavioral correction, rather than actual play-time, correct?
It used to be the threat of dismissal. Then that trump card got used once too often, and I learned to deal with it. Now? I have no idea. My wife and I have argued only once in the past ten years (although we disagree quite often). In all that time, there has never been a situation where punishment was required, nor would either of us require such a thing, as that is not in the nature of our relationship.
I suppose my own sense of right and wrong are far more capable of adjusting my attitude than any external punishment which might be inflicted upon me. My wife is much the same. Once we have expressed to one another that some behavior is hurtful to us, it does not happen again. Actually, in both cases, our reactions so far outweight the culpability involved, we both tend to avoid making unnessesary accusatory statements in a desperate bid to avoid hurting each other's feelings
