Given the many mentions of church attendance, I think this is a bit more off kilter than most. I really believe that if he had found a submissive girl who enjoyed this kind of life, he would have found her horribly sinful, especially since he allows good behaviour time out. If this were a workable situation for anybody, why would you need a good behaviour day so that you could do NONE of these things you're expected to do every day?

Let's go back to the fact that he kidnapped her, restrained her and raped her repeatedly, and beat her. Then a while after that, he was caught downloading pictures of children engaged in porn. How does this represent a relationship and mindset that could in any way be healthy?
