ALL cousins are related "by blood" because the cousin relationship depends on descent from a common ancestor. No one can become a cousin by "marrying in." Some people feel a need for a term to describe the spouse of a cousin, and they sometimes use the term "cousin-in-law", but just as your "brother-in-law" is not your brother, your "cousin-in-law" is not your cousin.

Third Cousins are descended from a common great great grandparent.

Third cousins have the same great grandparents. Meaning that their grandparents are siblings. The grandparents have children of their own and their children have children.
