7 Reasons Why Peter And Elizabeth Burke From 'White Collar' Are Relationship Goals

"White Collar" is a television series that first aired in 2009 on USA Network. This series is by far my favorite TV show and I have watched every season about three times now. I’ve been on another "White Collar" binge while back for January term at school and while re-watching these episodes I realized how amazing of a relationship Peter and Elizabeth Burke have or as Mozzie would say, Mr. and Mrs. Suit!

Here are seven reasons why Peter and Elizabeth are relationship goals:

1. Peter and Elizabeth have a give and give type of relationship!

That’s right, a give and give relationship. The Burke’s always give to each other. Sure they may take, but the other always gives back in return. It’s such a balanced relationship that creates the successful marriage they have.

2. Peter drinks his beer, while Elizabeth drinks her wine.

I personally love this in a relationship, because no matter what Peter will grab his wife a glass of wine and cracks open a nice cold one for himself. It also happens vice versa, Elizabeth loves to greet her husband with a beer after a long day of work! I think a couple who can enjoy their separate things is a couple in for the long haul.

3. They encourage each other constantly!

No matter what, Peter always has words of encouragement for Elizabeth and her planning and consulting jobs. Elizabeth loves to encourage Peter in times when he isn’t completely confident in himself. Encouragement is key, and wanting your significant other to succeed is a must in a successful relationship!

4. They have fun with one another

Every episode Peter and Elizabeth make the best out of every situation and are always laughing and smiling with each other! Having fun in relationships is key to a happy life.

5. Elizabeth keeps Peter in check

As much as some guys will disagree with this, you truly do need a woman in your life keep you in check a bit. Elizabeth is never nagging Peter, because she’s showing him how much she cares by making sure he doesn’t do something he regrets or something that gets him or others hurt.

6. They sure know how to still have fun in the bedroom after being married for over 10 years

In the words of Peter, “EL, you’re a tigress, absolutely amazing!” Sure you need to love a person for who they are, but I like how they show the private side of Peter and Elizabeth’s relationship and that they're having a good time there too! You have to have chemistry for a lasting relationship.


7. In every episode, even though they are only actors and fictional characters, you can feel the love that they exude for each other.

I love seeing the way they look in each other’s eyes and how they care for one another. Their love is something I strive for in life! As Peter said in the most recent episode I watched, “Marriage is for better and for worse.”

Finding that relationship that embodies all the good in life takes a different amount of time for everyone. You could find the love of your life in elementary school, or even at the rodeo as a young and crazy 20 something, but if your relationship is anything like Mr. and Mrs. Suit’s, you are truly relationship goals.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
