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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
