Introduction

I had a kissing cousin when I was a teenager, but it never went any further.  I was going through puberty at the time and was confused about the changes to my body.  Our grandmother suspected that something was going on between us and she didn't approve.  Also, I felt really guilty as though I was sinning.  I didn't realize at the time that the Bible does not condemn relationships with a cousin.  Of course, sex outside of marriage is always a sin regardless of whether you are related to your lover.  I'm not sure why I was interested in my cousin, other than I was just naturally attracted to her.  We are both married to other people now so a romantic relationship is not possible and I'm not sure she would be interested anyway.
