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 had 3 older sisters and I can honestly say that I am who I am because of them. I would do anything for them and vice-versa. I have lost two already and miss them so very much. They were and always be the best friends I’ll ever know. Thank you God for putting them in my life.
My sister Joyce is honestly the best person I know. And because sisters are competitive, I work hard to be the best person I can be, just to keep up with her.
I was blessed with 3 sisters, always there when I need them.
I love my sister with all my heart. I can’t imagine life without her. She is and always will be my best friend. I would give her the world if I could. We share everything.❤️❤️❤️
I always looked up to and admired my older sister, Alice. I was her “baby” when I was growing up. She taught me a lot of things, how to dress, wear makeup, and she was always there for me. I love her, and she is the only sibling I have left to share my heart with.
My sister is a very independent, strong, intelligent individual & I absolutely can not imagine life without her. She was born when I was 8 1/2 years old & there’s just the two of us; I am now 70 & she’s 62. She has inspired & encouraged me. My life has definitely been better with her in it! I love her dearly.
I have 4 sisters. Three older and one younger. I’m closest to the 2 closer to my age. I can tell my sisters everything. We argue but we always make up. No one knows you and has your back like a sister. I feel sorry for people who don’t have a sister. They are the best.
Lisa is My Sister!! What would I do, or what have I done, without her. ?!?!?!
I have one and she is my best friend. She has always believed in me and encouraged me to pursue my dreams. Best gift ever is having her for a sister.
I have three sisters and I cant image my life without them. In Feb of this year my oldest sister died she was like my mom. My mom passed 4 years before that. And when my sister died there was a big hole in my heart. She was always the go to sister
Always looked after me there where six of us. I want to tell her Something and I say gee her not here she has gone to heaven. My sister was a fighter battled cancer for 27 years and kicked cancers butt. I will always have her by my side in heaven.
