During the morning conversation, Maina and King'ang'i discussed women who believe that being beaten by your spouse depicts discipline.

This was prompted by a woman who called in yesterday and said, "marriages are not perfect, disciple sometimes ni important."

Maina wondered why women would consider staying with an abusive husband in the name of being beaten for discipline.

"Who are these women who believe being beaten is love?" Maina asked. 

On the contrary, Mwalimu King'ang'i stated that there is no marriage that comes without its challenges and struggles.

"Mi nataka munionyeshe any perfect marriage, "Mwalimu King'ang'i said.

A female caller responded to the question by saying that she would never stay with an abusive partner because her parents have been married for 40 years and her father has never hit her mother.

She also stated that her husband with whom she has been married for ten years has never struck her.

Caller: My parents have been married for 40 years and my dad has never raised a hand on my mom . I have been married for 10 years my husband has never beaten me. In marriage we should respect each other huyo mwanaume yeye anachapwa na nani ingekuwa baba yake anachapa mama yake ata anaweza chapa the dad. Mimi siwezi kubali kuchapwa in the name of discipline , I'll pack my bags and leave.

Another caller narrated how her husband one day tried to tease to hit her with a panga because of a mistake that her child had made. She defended herself and ever since the husband has never tried to hit her. 

Caller: Niko na 25 years kwa marriage bwana yangu siku moja akajaribu kunipiga. Makosa ilikuwa ya mtoto. Alimkimbiza mtoto na panga, sasa akaona siongei nikaona ananikujia na panga nilimshika kama stima, nikamkumbutia ile akajiskia nikama hakuwa amkejtayarisha na akaniaambia nitawakatakata nyi wote hio ilikuwa siku yake ya kwanza na ya mwisho kujaribu kunipiga. 

Another caller described how her husband slapped her and in return she slapped him back. She also encouraged the woman who called in yesterday to go for counseling.

Caller: That lady needs counselling. Anakupiga aje na unasema ati ni mapenzi? Mimi alijaribu kunislap nikamslap pia hajawahi rudia.

Chebet Beating your wife is wrong. Who beats the man when he wrongs? It is good to talk when there is a problem and solve issues amicably. Physical or psychological torture is backwardness and should not be entertained.
