Is this the correct pronoun usage Him and Patty love to travel abroad every summer.?
No, it should be, "He and Patty love to travel abroad every summer." You need the subjective form (he), and not the objective form (him) for the compound subject of the sentence.
An easy way to test whether to use the subjective or objective form of a pronoun is to simplify the sentence so that the correct form is much clearer. Since you would say "He loves to travel abroad" and not "Him loves to travel abroad", you would follow the same pronoun pattern and use "He and Patty love to travel...".
An even simpler form for the subject of that sentence is the subjective plural pronoun, "They love to travel abroad every summer."
