Recovering from the tragic loss of his first wife, Mary, who died during the birth of their daughter, Robert Peterson struggles to manage his professional life while raising his three children, George, Jeffery and little Sally. In a stroke of luck, he finds Mrs. Margaret Fitzsimons a widow of fifty-three to run his household and serve as the children’s nanny. Comfortable now with his bachelor status, Robert is not looking for a mate to replace his lost Mary, but their old friend Doris Henderson tries repeatedly, for more than two years, to get him matched up with one of several likely prospects. “(What is it about some women that makes them view any unattached adult male as a personal affront and a challenge?)†Robert manages to dodge all of these efforts at matchmaking until during a dinner party at the Hendersons’ she introduces him to Barbara Stewart, the hottest new talent in Doris’ husband’s marketing agency. Two years older than Robert, she is bright, a feast for the eyes, and she exudes a quiet strength and confidence that makes it clear that even while sitting over dinner with her boss, she is the dominant figure at the table. But Robert hid a secret--a fascination and a desire for discipline of the old fashioned kind. Mary was never a candidate for disciplinarian, but he had long thought that should he ever get involved with another woman in a serious manner, he would pick one who knew the proper application of both sides of a hairbrush. Someone who would provide stern correction in a loving and organized manner designed to help him to grow and develop. Could Barbara fill this role? The night that he proposes marriage, he agrees to a sampling of her skills in punishment for past shortcomings in consideration and respect. Robert is spanked pants down, over Barbara’s knee, with first her bare hand and then her hard wooden hairbrush until the boy in the man has been drawn out and thoroughly punished. Robert and Barbara are married three months later in a civil ceremony, which they follow with a more private ceremony in which their female led relationship (FLR) and domestic discipline (DD) agreement is formalized and videoed by Meredith, Barbara’s Maid of Honor (who has spanking interests of her own). From that day forward, Robert is kept on the straight and narrow thanks to loving domestic discipline (Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who owns a nasty Scottish tawse, also makes her contribution to correction of the wayward young man.), and is coached and guided by Barbara to be the best business man, husband and father that he can be.
