After her first divorce, Ellen gave up on marriage- but then she met Marsh Greene. Over the next 20 years, Ellen secretly wrote down all the thoughtful and caring things her husband said and did in her "Sweet Things List." In Remember the Sweet Things, Greene recalls these memories, sharing an honest account of her own love story, and reminding listeners that true happiness in marriage can be found in the smallest actions.

"(Non-fiction Memoir- Marriage) For twenty years, Ellen Greene presented her husband Marsh with a list of all the sweet things he did every single Valentine's day. They lived an adventurous life sailing and building a house in Mexico. This book inspired me to treasure each day with my husband and make more of an effort to take note of the sweet things he blesses me with every day. I recommend this book for those who enjoy marriage memoirs. This book could even be a great gift for a engagement party or a wedding gift."

" The man described in this book seems too good to be true, but aside from that, this is a sweet love story, very readable, and a nice escape. Perhaps we could all benefit from focusing on the good things we do for each other, instead of what isn't done or said. "
