well first of all i want to say love happens in mysterious ways and i wanted to ask if two first cousins were to get married would they risk a big chance of having problems with their baby and i want your complete answer no matter what please its a cry for help and i dont have any one to talk about it with.

Hi, first of all the important is the love you feel for each other, as you say love comes in misterious ways,we just can't choose who we love.
I think that there is nothing related between a child you may conceive comes with any problems and the fact that you are 1 cousins.
I also think its a supersticion.and if your love is stronger than that,just go ahead.
All the best.

Only if there were years of interbreeding.

Say BOB and his brother JOEL married your mom BETTY and her sister JANE. BOB and BETTY have a Daughter BARB and a son BART. JOEL and JANE have a son JOSH and a daughter JILL.

BARB and JOSH are cousins on both sides, but they fall in love and get married. They have 2 daughters SARA & SAMI.

Bart and Jill are cousins on both sides, but they fall in love and get married. They have 2 sons TOMM & TOBY.

Sara maries Tomm and has a son LUKE.
Sami maries Toby and they have a daughter RUTH.

Luke and Ruth are cousins on both sides multiple times, but they fall in love and get married. They have a kid Blork with 6 toes and the ability to move things with his mind.

It's about genetics. If the two cousins both carry a gene for something bad, the chances are much higher of the child getting whatever that bad thing is. So there is deffinitely a connection between intermarrying and problems with the child, because family traits come from both sides. It's like a double whammy. If you throw a baseball at someone, they might catch it, they might not. But then throw a second one. The chances of them catching one go up. the more baseballs you throw, the higher the risk.

Umm... it's just a bad idea in general, I'd say... and the thought of me marrying my cousin and having kids with him creeps me out a bit, no offense...
