In fact, its a great way to get conquered by a neighbor. The "reliance on God" isn't about starving ourselves or others or something crazy. It's about not rejecting his governance and relying on one's self as authority.
To sum, God wants you to do all the work and give him all the credit.

Godschild, are you pathologically incapable of not being full of shit? I mean seriously. And you have the balls to tell anyone they have never read the Bible.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard." 21 Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
As for loving your wife as Jesus loves his church, that is accurate. Your wife should be a mindlessly obedient and inferior supplicant, like you are to Jesus.
