What would say about Cousin couples if...?

Question

If there wasn't that stupid "you'll have deformed child myth" and the social taboo?

Also if all of you had all the facts straight:

- Morally speaking, from a religious stand-point [for those who are], there is nothing wrong with it. In the Bible it does not say it's wrong.

- Scientifically speaking there is, in most cases, only a slight increase in the percentage of having some form of birth defect. 2-3% [normal] and 4-6% [cousins]

- If you have a bad relationship with your cousin, or view them as a bro or sis, that doesn't mean everyone does. Personally, you may find it sick to view them that way, but that doesn't have to mean just because you wouldn't do it that it's sick and wrong.

- If you knew that half the states in the U.S. allow cousin marriages. And that, no, not all of them are in the south.

- If you knew that not everyone who marries or loves a cousin is a hillbilly or redneck. Because that's not the case most of the time.

So, now that you know that, what do say & why?

Answer 3

20/20 had a piece on this about a year ago. My cousin called me when it started and yelled, "You gotta watch 20/20" We stayed on the phone and watched it together. All those myths were believed 50 yrs ago when she & I had major cases on each other. We dated in middleschool, and highschool, (kids at school didn't know we were cousins. Our parents just thought we enjoyed each other. Her parents would rather have her go out with me than some guy that was after her ** lol) We went out occasionally in college, and even a little after college. We never had geni**l interc**rse, but did "everything else. Had we know then what we know now, we would be celebrating our 45th, or more, wedding anniv. We have both been happily married to others for over 40 yrs. We still care for each other and are still best friends, and, of course, still cousins. Our spouse know each other, but neither know the extent of our relationship.
