The "relationship" Christians have with their deity and wish for others to seek as well, is claimed to be one of pure love, benevolence, and devotion. However, if one pays close attention to the Bible, church teachings, etc., this relationship is exactly like an abusive marriage ("The Church," which is comprised of all Christians, is indeed said to be his bride).
"God" demands complete control over the lives of his followers; where they live, what they do for a living, according to the Bible God controls everything in their lives, and if they rebel in even the slightest way, watch out!
Christians are instructed to fear their god. In fact, they often avoid doing, saying, or even thinking about things they fear will anger him. I remember that all too well when I was still a believer!
One of the main reasons why battered spouses don't leave and file for divorce is because they're too scared to do so. "God" threatens mortals with a fate even worse than death if they leave the relationship.
Part of indoctrination is the toxic teaching that every single human being is a filthy, wretched sinner unable to be good on their own, and they deserve every unfortunate thing that happens to them. In other words, all the bad things "God" allows are ultimately our fault, simply because we were born and continue to live (even though we had absolutely no role in what Adam and Eve did, nor did we have any choice in being born into a fallen sinful world).
Those are just a few examples of how the god in Christianity is exactly like an abusive spouse. For anyone who may be interested, here are a few links about this topic:
