The Newman clan quite literally could not function without their matriarch and head of the house, Elena. She is the do-it-all wife and mom who keeps on top of her teens along with her husband. Mix that with the hard work she puts in as an accounting partner, and you have one outstanding woman.
And for her husband, Chris, he cannot imagine being married to someone other than Elena. She is as good as they come, and she is the type of person that a lot of people are drawn to.
Plus, she makes him the happiest man in the world every time he is with her. She is beautiful and smart, and she has a whole lot of compassion in her genuine heart too.
“Basically, she’s the leader of the house,” Chris said. “She’s organized. She keeps the house in order. We do a lot of things to complement each other. We had three kids in diapers at one point. She’s keeping up with every single thing, between school sports and everything else. She’s just a wonderful person. I love everything about her. And the love she has for us is just amazing.”
It is no wonder Chris mentioned that one of his favorite things to do is just hang around Elena and the kids. When they are together, there is no telling what kind of memories will arise.
Chris also admires the fact that Elena is a top-notch mother. She has a way about her that draws their three teens closer to her, which is hard to do when they are that age.
“She’s just constantly always understanding,” Chris said. “She’s not flying off the edge. She’s keeping things even-keeled. She is never ignoring one out of the three kids. We also play good cop bad cop depending on how the situation’s going. She’s just always there for the kids.”
Elena loves to educate the kids as well. She is not afraid to sit down and help them with their homework, no matter how tired she is from work.
Speaking of which, Elena has an unmatched work ethic. For six months out of the year, she has her busy season, and she just puts her head down and grinds.
Chris said his wife’s work-life balance is the most amazing thing he has ever seen too, because Elena still always finds time for others. Whether she is there for her kids or for friends, she just loves to be in people’s corners.
She is also a role model in a way to Chris. He has learned so much from his loving wife, and he cannot imagine a world without her at the center.
“Just to be open-minded with people,” Chris said when asked what he’s learned from his wife. “She’s definitely sweeter than I am. Elena is a warm-hearted person. She’s very respectful to people. Patience is something I have learned from her quite a bit. And the communication side of things. The compassion side too.”
Chris could go on and on, and that just goes to show how tremendous his wife really is. Elena has a lot of love in her heart and she brings out the best in everyone, and he is super blessed that he is the one who is married to her.
“I never thank her enough for all the little things she does.” – Chris
