The religious world has a lot to contribute to the discussion of how we treat each other, especially family members. As we discussed, the bible has several important stories about siblings. The article is titled “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!” Most of us survived a "brutal training" in our preparation for adulthood; living with siblings! Many of us have children in the midst of this "training" right now. God has placed these people in our lives. How can we minister to our siblings and learn from them? How can we help our children benefit from this special relationship?
