Hey you both are cousins so ya its going to be a problem but this problem is totally family problem. If you could convience your family members about you both then i don't think there should be any serious problem.
If you are living in the US than you will not be able to get married to your cousin as its against the law. Americans and their legal system are phobic about first-cousin marriage.
As far as babies are concerned - Children of non-related couples have a 2-3% risk of birth defects, as opposed to first cousins having a 4-6% risk. Genetic counseling is available for those couples that may be at a special risk for birth defects (e.g. You have a defect that runs in your family) In plain terms first cousins have at a 94 percent + chance of having healthy children. Check the links section for more information on genetic counselors. The National Society of Genetic Counselors estimated the increased risk for first cousins is between 1.7 to 2.8 percent, or about the same a any woman over 40 years of age.
So here you are go ahead and all the best ... good luck and god bless.
Hope all works well.

I am in love with my first cousin and, in fact, we are dating. We have been together for five months now after rekindling our relationship. We did not grow up together and have only had contact with each other twice since early childhood. We do not even remember physically being around each other as children. After meeting again, we both realized the instant attraction, and perhaps attribute it to genetics, or life experiences, whatever, we are incredibly similar in thought and ideals, likes and dislikes. I have never had a more rewarding relationship in all my life. So, I say go for it. For me, it is the best relationship on so many levels that I have ever had or could wish to have.

It was thought hundred of years ago to keep a bloodline pure, you must marry the same bloodline. There were plenty of children born into Royality who had to be institutionalised because of intellectual disabilities...some being very horrific indeed. When you marry and/or have children within your own family bloodline you do run the risk of the child being born with physical and mental disorders. There are lots of cases where cousins do fall in love and do get married, but they obviously are prepared to take the risk that their children could be born with something wrong with them. I know I could not take that risk with any unborn child of mine. It is risky having a child anyway and deliberatly putting your unborn child at possible risk, I believe is irresponsible. I think if I couldnt help but love my cousin, then I would choose not to have children by him. I would adopt instead. It a big risk, and one I wouldnt go into lightly.

Now the first question here is 1st, 2nd or third cousin. If history proves right during the 1700s most people married within the family. Now days it is frowned upon. I wouldn't start a relationship with my cousin in this day in age. Find someone who has the same qualities. Are you sure you are in love?

Well if both of you want to marry and your family is supportive then it's good for you. I have a close family member whose parents were cousins and the family supported the union. So if the family gives blessing then it is acceptable. Also laws are different everywhere but I do not believe that it is illegal. It is illegal, however to marry your parent (step parent or adopted parent), sibling (by birth, adoption, or step-sibling), aunt/uncle, and the child of your previous spouse.

I would not say that is a good thing beccause it's not, but people do it all the time. I would not encourage that kind of thing. Not only will your family disown you, people in general aren't that nice. I can't see how you and your cousin will have a healthy relationship because ya'll are blood related. enough said

well accept the facts that its very complicated! but the real thing is how deep and strong that love you two have shared! are you willing to give up everything you have and leave it behind! because like I said its very very complicated, but they said love conquers everything then so be it! if you love each other who cares! both of you deserved to be happy!good luck!

Its just plain sick and wrong to do anything with your cousin plus FYI inbreeding can cause serious problems with children
