Overcoming Arguments and Building a Stronger Relationship

It's natural for siblings to have disagreements and arguments, but it's important to remain respectful and work through the issues together. If you and your sister are having a heated argument, it's crucial to practice self-control and not interrupt each other. Take a moment to count to 10 or 20 if your emotions are high. Remember that arguments often pass, and as you get older, you may find that you become even closer.

One example of this is the experience of my twin daughters. They were always fighting and arguing when they were younger. At times, I prayed in desperation that things would improve. When I discussed it with them, I reminded them that later in life they would actually be best friends and help each other through life together. They told me, "No way." Well, here we are, and they are now 20 and best of friends, doing everything together. Occasional arguments are quickly resolved. Remember, no matter how bad things seem now, as you both get older, things will be fine.
