The end of this month, I will stop doing The Generous Husband blog, after almost 24 years. I know it’s time, but I’ve still had a hard time letting go and moving on. I made plans for the next thing, but didn’t initially feel much passion for it.
Slowly I made peace with the change, grieved, and started to focus on Doing Marriage Well. And as I have done that, have become excited about where I’m going next.
TGH hasn’t been static over the years, but it has remained mostly in the box it was created in. And that has limited me. It’s kept me from reaching out to couples as couples. Adding The XY Code allowed me to speak to wives, but it was still not dealing with couples.
Doing Marriage Well will be sort of coaching via blog. I think it will be more powerful and will bring about far more positive growth and change. And I would have missed that had I been unwilling to let go and move on.
Where in your life, and your marriage, are you missing out on something good because you’ve been unwilling to let go and move on?
If you want to join me on my next venture, you can go to Doing Marriage Well and sign up for emails in the upper right corner. Lori is blogging there till the end of the month, but her stuff is well worth your time!

I’m very sorry to hear this. Of course, you have to do what you feel is right, and I’m sure that what you do next will be excellent. But I will really miss the specific focus on husbands — something that I don’t think anyone else is really doing.
Anyway, I’ll follow you across to DMW.
@ Mike Taylor – You are right about focus on husbands. I hope to still do some of that, but it will be different. My prayer is it will be better!
I just signed up for the Doing Marriage Well to continue following you. Definitely appreciate what you do and I have needed the advice/encouragement/prodding to become more emotionally connected with my wife.
Side note; as someone who donates monthly to The Marriage Bed, do I need to change that or will that remain the same? Thanks!
@Jonan Tiarks – Many thanks for that. We will still be under the TMB umbrella, so no change.
Dear Paul,
I have subscribed to The Generous Husband for over twenty years, so I’m very sorry to hear that the blog is retiring. In a couple of years I’m hoping to do that myself, so I understand.
Your wisdom and counsel have done wonders to help me with our marriage. I will miss the blog, but time marches on. Best wishes with the Doing Marriage Well venture – I will be along.
@Greg Brown – You’ve certainly seen some changes! Including adding images and spell checking.
The OCD in me would have liked to make it to 25 years. Oh, well!
Thanks Mark, as an avid reader for 15 years, I’m very grateful for your regular reminders to me of the importance of my marriage, and my responsibilities in contributing to this.
I’ll miss TGH!
Keep looking up !
