Do you believe that "blood is thicker than water"? Where does marriage fit into that?
For me marriage is thicker than blood, and blood is way thicker than water.

I agree-- marriage is thicker than blood is thicker than water. When I married dh I made him my most immediate family.

I don't think so. I'm an adoptive mom and the water is pretty thick around here!

@Mrs. Jacks: I love your response.
I don't really distinguish, to be honest. Family is family. My BFF might as well be family. They all mean just as much to me.

I think family is thicker than water, so it just depends who or what you consider family. My BFF and I have been friends for close to 20 years and I consider her family and therefore thicker than water. I also have some pretty crappy "family" members, but I don't consider them family so I guess you could call them water.

@Mrs. Jacks: adopted blood = regular blood

Nope. Marriage is thickest but blood is not necessarily thicker than water. After seeing my family completely dissolve after my grandmother died, I have no more illusions that family is here to stay any more than friends.
