Or what it actually means? You might think that it means that family relationships and loyalties are the strongest and most important ones, keeping people closer together. Stronger than friendships or even love relationships - where although closeness and intimacy is tangible, no blood is shared. But actually the opposite is true. The Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb is a medieval proverb that means that bonds of friendship or love will always be stronger than bonds of family.
