The idiom 'Blood is thicker than water' means that family relations or bonds are more important and long lasting than with outsiders. It originates from the fact that when water evaporates it leaves behind no mark, but blood leaves stains.

Example sentence: "Jim will leave behind everything to help his brother; after all, blood is thicker than water"

"In the argument that ensued, Bess had to side with her sister over her friends - blood is thicker than water."
