Why I think the sibling relationship is the strongest

The sibling relationship in my opinion is the strongest that we will ever encounter in our lives, but the question is why?

I think the answer is quite simple. You are from the same gene pool, you grow up together and although you have your own mind, character and personality, you so often have the same values in life because they were taught to you both from early age. 

When you are in a relationship with a wife, husband or partner etc. This is a formed relationship. You fall in love and decide between you that you want to be together, but as we know people can change and sometimes things don’t work out. 

Friends can come and go in your life for a variety of reasons, moving away or just simply moving on. It’s a very rare occurrence to have a friend for life. 

In my own children I have seen them have the most terrible rows and they say that’s it they are not bothering with each other again and then one of them has a problem relationship, break-up or just simply are feeling down about life and who’s there when they need them? Yes! Their brother or sister, or both to support and listen. Although I have always found it interesting why siblings can talk to their brothers and sisters in an appalling manner and think it is acceptable when in my humble opinion it’s not acceptable. You wouldn’t say horrible things to other people, so why do you to your siblings?

It’s really incredible how horrible sisters and brothers can be to each other. Ok, it might take some time sometimes to make up, but it’s always forgiven and forgotten. There is no doubt that if if that was anybody else you would just dismiss them out of your lives and not get involved. Siblings – not a chance! They’ll always be make up. 

Don’t get me wrong I’m sure there are lots of siblings that don’t get on, but generally speaking when you really need someone, your sibling will be there for you.

Watching my four year old twins is amazing and I’m sure that as they grow older they will remember these times where a sibling relationship was forged so strong it will never be broken.

So my view is really simple siblings have a lifelong guaranteed relationship, if of course they want it, that no other person can break-up. It’s born not formed.
