Marriage strengthening Podcast with Pat and Kim as they explore the essential biblical foundations for a strong and lasting marriage. The session kicks off with Pat emphasizing the importance of building a marriage on God's Word, as it's designed to withstand societal pressures and personal differences. Through engaging anecdotes and spiritual insights, they address common marriage myths, like the ideas that marriage is meant to make one happy or complete.

Pat shares personal stories, including his experience with a swing set construction, to illustrate the challenges and growth opportunities that marriage presents. The couple discusses how different personalities and strengths in a marriage can complement each other, rather than causing division, likening it to the convergence of two mighty rivers creating a more powerful flow.

Central to their message is the concept of covenant over contract, highlighting the importance of viewing marriage as a sacred promise rather than just a legal agreement. The episode encourages listeners to prioritize cherishing their partners over mere commitment, and to view marriage as a reflection of Christ's relationship with the Church.
