Cousin Couples

Cousin Couples "defines cousin relationships as romantic affection between those who have a formal consanguinity of two degrees or greater under the measure used by the common law of the English and American legal systems. In plain terms, we don't think anything is wrong with loving your first or more distant cousin. In fact, we think the combination of this special intimacy and romance often make for a strong, beautiful, intimate, loving and extraordinary relationship.

"Many of our participants have successful, legal marriages and long term relationships with their cousins despite society's obstacles. Many readers and participants seek peer counselling to deal with the emotions of incidental or transient relationships with cousins. A significant majority of our participants have never met another person involved in a cousin relationship. In providing discussion with peers who have had similar experiences, and by being a general resource for cousins in such situations, we believe we fulfill a valuable and important role."
