Practical wisdom for couples who want a stronger marriage.

Welcome to MarriageWorks.TODAY. I am Minister JimPatrick, and I am joined by my wife, Summer.

This podcast is for couples who want something real. Not fluff. Not perfect answers. Just honest conversation, biblical wisdom, and practical tools for building a marriage that lasts.

Whether you are newly married, walking through a hard season, or simply know your relationship could go deeper, you are welcome here.

Every week we explore the 12 Domains of a Healthy Marriage, the same framework we use with the couples we mentor. We cover communication, conflict, emotional connection, money, parenting, intimacy, vision, and all the everyday forces that either build your marriage up or quietly wear it down.

We do not come to you with a perfect marriage. We come as two people who know what it feels like when a marriage falls apart, and what it looks like when one is rebuilt, one honest conversation at a time.

If you need honesty, hope, or simply a place to start, you are in the right place. Take your free Marriage Checkup at marriageworks.today.

    Ep-06. Expectations the silent source of many conflicts
    Jun 22 2026

    Many relationship disappointments don’t begin with bad intentions—they begin with expectations that were never clearly communicated.


    In this episode, Minister JimPatrick and Summer name the silent wars being fought in many marriages over "mind-reading." We look at where these expectations come from—family, culture, and social media—and why assuming your partner "should just know" is a recipe for resentment.


    You will learn the "Expectation Audit"—a practical, three-step exercise to surface your hidden needs and share them without blame. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by things left undone or needs left unmet, this conversation will help you turn silent resentment into kind, brave conversations.

    Key Topics:

    • Why we assume our partners can read our minds.
    • The difference between negotiable and non-negotiable expectations.
    • How to use the Expectation Audit this week.

    Ep-05. When Money Becomes a Battleground
    Jun 11 2026

    Money is never just about numbers. It is about trust, control, fear, and the values you never talked about until they clashed.

    In this episode, Minister JimPatrick and Summer tackle the Financial Partnership domain. How to talk about debt without shame. Why spending styles often reveal deeper fears. And how to create a money plan that honours both of you.

    Ep-04. What Happens When a Couple Drifts?
    May 29 2026

    Drift never announces itself. It creeps in when two people stop sharing a vision and start running parallel lives.

    In this episode, Minister JimPatrick and Summer examine the Vision and Shared Purpose domain. Practical questions to realign your future together, how to name your family values, and what to do when your dreams have diverged.

    If your marriage feels more like a business partnership than a love story, this one is for you.
