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 drive my sister crazy at times I’m opinionated stubborn a little crazy but I have been there for her no matter what. Sometimes a little to much i took on trying to be her mommy but always had her best interest at heart. But we have always complimented each other my strength are her weakness and her strength is my weakness. I could not imagine my life without my sister she’s my ride or die chick. I am very proud of the women and mommy she has become and she gave me the opportunity to be a aunt to a beautiful little boy who I adore and soon to be another little boy I can’t wait to meet (hes not born yet though). Shelly I love u with all my heart and I’m so thankful your my sister!!
I love my sister beyond measure. The only person that loves me back unconditionally. My first brst friend and sure to be my last.
Being with my sister gives me comfort. I love just hanging in her living room laughing, watching tv, petting , and eating something fun! Toasting & roasting. ♥️ Wish we got to hang w/ our sweet sis in AL. Love her so dearly too ♥️
My sister was my bestfriend.When i lost her i truly lost a part of my heart.Noone knew me like her.And she never judged me.Her pineapple cake was the best and she loved my meatloaf.We had a special bond that will always be in my heart and soul.Untill we meet again Sis
My sisteris kind and caring.A Great sister and grandmother.
I have two older sisters named Leslie and Sharon. They always have my back, and I theirs.
My sister is only 18 months younger than I am. It felt like we were truly one unit growing up. We started having our own lives in high school and into adulthood, but that bond has never been broken. Time and distance have changed our lives, but she is still that one person who cuts through my bullshit faster than anyone and reaches deeper into my heart. Sisters are the best! ❤️❤️❤️
I have 4 sisters
My younger sister has always looked up to me. I know that. However I hope she knows that I have known that she is the one person who has always had MY back. She is my sounding board, my backer and we can always have those hilarious laughing spells talking about our childhood oh and even about things recently. My SEESTER as we have called each other for years now, is someone who loves deeply with all of her heart. I love her!!!
My Dad once said be nice to your sister one day she’ll be your best friend. It’s interesting because my sister to me is more than a best friend. She is like my whole family in one person. We have shared everything together and although we are very different we share the same core values, we have each others back, and are fiercely protective of each other. I was to choose someone to be my sister I would choose her again and again everyday no question.
My sister is a trip. She is very intense amd passionate. We can disagree about almost anything! I love her children like they are my own and feel the same pride in them. She feels the same about mine and also my grand children. When the chips are down no one can feel your anquish like your sister. It is almost like two sisters one heart. Unless you want to go to the mattresses do not mess with her. It doesn’t matter how large and powerful you think you are….take cover… I thsnk God every day for my loving brother in law and her precious children.
