That depends on your relationship with them, in most cases they would not be considered a close relative as the nearest common ancestor is 5 generations away.

Third cousins can very well become husband and wife. In that respect they would become very close, but they are not concidered closely related from a genetic point of view.

Some people consider a first cousin three times removed to be a close relative; others say this is a distant relative. To a degree it depends on why the question is asked, but also on the cultural and ethnic group you are asking the question in.
