If you’re fortunate enough to have a sister, you know that the bond between you is so strong, almost nothing can break it. Let’s look at all the amazing ways that having a sister you’re close to will change your life for the better.
Just an idea, but before we go any further, why not do something nice for your favorite sibling? Maybe make her a sweet treat like an Orange Creamsicle Pie or a batch of sweet Citrus Blossom Cookies. She’ll love that you thought of her!
7 Reasons Sisters Are the Best
1. They help each other dial back the crazy. They are a sounding board and a trusted advisor for one another. Having someone to support and encourage you on the regular is as good as a big dose of medicine sometimes.
A study at Brigham Young University in Utah found that “sisters seemed to help siblings avoid negative emotions. Those adolescents with sisters were less likely than those without sisters to indicate feeling lonely, unloved, guilty, self-conscious and fearful. It didn’t matter whether the sister was younger or older, or how far apart the siblings were age-wise.”
2. Sisters help reduce the likelihood of divorce. Okay, so we all know having a sister doesn’t take divorce out of the picture for us. If only. But, it’s interesting to learn that for every sibling a person has, their chance of divorce drops by 2%.
Apparently, all that quality work sisters do (known as fighting) makes us better at working out our differences with a spouse.
3. Sisters help each other be better communicators. Makes sense seeing as how sisters tell each other absolutely everything. Those late night sisterly talks about all the things that are important in life prepare women to be more open with their life partners later on.
4. They are second moms. When they each have kids, the other steps in and becomes a default bonus mom for her sister’s children. She is there when they are sick, or for their celebrations, and she’s right there for all mundane things like learning to ride a bike or tie shoes. Speaking of aunts, read all the reasons we think being an aunt is so wonderful.
5. Sisters are low-key gangsters. Anyone who messes with one sister will feel the wrath of the other. Being in that line of fire is not a place anyone should ever want to be.
6. Sisters fight. Sisters make up. The content of the fight will be forgotten by the time they are eating cheesecake and laughing. Who else can say that?
7. Sisters show up. Whether it’s 3 AM or in the middle of the workday, sisters will always answer the phone. They never have to face sadness or fear alone when they have each other.
What’s the one thing that makes your sister so awesome?
Brag about her in the comments and then for sure share with her so she can read all the good things you have to say “behind her back.”

I love my 2 sisters they are my best friends. Everything in this passage is true. They are my go to.

I can trust them with my life my kids lives I know they have nothing but love for us as I do for them and their kids. I miss my best friends we live apart but we need to get together ASAP to rejuvenate our souls that fuel up on all the love, laughter and kindness that we could possibly have. My sisters Paij Crocker and Carey Lewis #arethebest!
The comments reflect Our sister relationship. Being the eldest was fun! She REALLY listened to me, at least until she became a teenager. Lol. We still enjoy sharing Time together and would be happy to help Anytime! LOVE her ❤️ VERY much. B
My sisters are women I am close to who have other parents. God gave them to me.
I didn’t have a sister or a brother but the Lord made certain I had plenty of sisters, too.
I have 2 sisters. One is amazing at listening and giving advice and knowing me. 2 years apart but people thought we were twins when we were little and even in our 20s. The other sister is 5 years younger and lives 5 mins away. I love being an auntie to all of their kids! But my relationship with my baby sister is tense. I know she has my back in the long run but it makes me sad that I don’t have the same kind of relationship with her as I do with the sister who lives 13 hours away.
My sister is my mentor in many ways. She is is compassionate, caring problem solver which I has been a lifesaver for me in more ways than I can say. Always there when I need her. Rain, shine sleet or snow…literally! Lol! I love you Kathy .
I have two sisters who are truly my best friends in the world they always have my back and I always have theirs. No matter what happens we are there for each other! Our love knows no boundaries God Bless I love them
I have 2 sisters also. Love them to the moon and back. I also had the privilege of having 2 daughters of my own – 18 months apart – super close. I know they will both ok when I’m not around anymore – because of their love for each other. I also have a brother who is like no other
What makes my sister a “badass got your back gal,” are many and long qualities but first…she this article to me as a great reminder of the many unsaid things we do for one another to support and live one another.
I have only one sister shes younger than me but by far the mature you more sensible you see. I dont see her often nore talk everyday. But when ever i discuss a promlem with her she helps it go away. There arent the corrects words i can find to select and say that describes what she means to me in every single way. But mess with this girl and i promise you for sure you have more on your plate than u could ever enjore. How far would i go for her well id die thats for sure always rember this need i say anymore xx
My baby sister, she’s 32, and she’s my rock. We fought like cats and dogs when we were little. Years later, I’m now 300 miles away from her. I so value our long conversations and verbal flashbacks, and our bickering, lol. She’s become so wise and kind, and has taught me so much. I’m lucky to have her in my life.
My sister is 2 years younger than I, but wr ginish each others sentences, we know what each other are thinking by just looking at one another. She is my greatest asset in this life, sisters are truly blessings.
My sister although we have our differences. She never judges me for my decisions in life. She’s easy to talk to and understanding and always has good advice even when I don’t want it.
Mine is the same. They do not always speak to each other but they know.
I have 3 sisters and now wouldn’t trade them for anything. Lost the oldest to cancer almost 1 year ago and it still hurts, but she will always be my older sister no matter that she is in heaven now
Lucky me! I got 3 sisters and 3 step sisters. This article is so true! I love them all!!
I had 6. The one who nurtured us most passed away. But I can attest this is all true. I don’t know where I would be without my sisters. <3
