Yes it can work, though i am not sure about the successful part. I have seen and met a lot of mixed faith marriages and it takes a lot of courage and willpower to make it work, but there had been some serious problems in their lives and some amount of regret to go with that marriage choice too especially when kids are involved and when all this strong feelings of love and passion have simmered down.
You see, both partners in the beginning are deeply in love and all they want is to spend their lives together without thinking deeply of the future of this marriage.
In this marriage the kids are going to grow up to the faith of the father which is Islam, their only source and teaching will come from him and not the mother which realistically is difficult cos mothers are the ones that do most of the upbringing.
My Christian friend now is very regretful that her kids are not of her faith and so she teached them chrisitanity instead of Islam while they are listed as Muslims on paper and the kids eventually grew up confused and in the end they did not follow any religion.
The problem goes much deeper if and when one or both parents or families are/become of strong faith. There will be no full sharing of significant religious events from each others POV and it might affect the marriage badly.
Look i am not trying to be negative here, some people are just happy with raising spiritual kids and religion is not of importance, however u did ask yr q from a religious point of view. Think hard about the future and the problems that might arise and Good Luck, all will be fine ISA. |

in the beginning of the relationship nothing seems impossible.
i know that this is probably not what you want to hear, but do his parents accept you? do they agree with the choice and are they willing to bless your marriage?
if not, it will be so hard - especially for him. try to understand him and be there for him when he needs you.
i don't mean to sound negative, or saying not to marry him. i believe that as long as you two love each other you can get through everything.

Yeah it can work out! ...I can mention now like 100 example for mixed marriages that still exist up til now!
My Dad's friend is Muslim marrying a Christian woman
My friend's uncle the same
My friend's mom is christian marrying a Muslim ..
My friend is getting married to a christian girl :)
Of course not all of the christian sects allow marrying a non christian man but some sects allow that ..
And I dont think that marriage is about Religion only when it comes to marry someone who aint the same religion of mine ,as there are alot of stuff they have to care about other than Religion which is something important for sure! |

i think it's hard, but possible. i mean. if they really want it to work then they will. despite all the differences. idk how they do it either. |

I think it definitely would work. Religion is something personal between you and whoever/whatever you believe in. Loving someone and making a relationship work has nothing to do with it. I just wish people stop treating religion as a way of life...because it is not! |

Some work very welll, and others don't. Depends on the amount of respect each would have for the other's religion and the way they will bring up their children. They have to be very diplomatic. |

I don't think religion is a big deal..i guess it depends on the concerned person how they will make things right for them. It's a matter of acceptance and maybe a compromise of both party. There are succesful married life with different religion. |

It has the same chances as any other marriage. Look at all the same faith marriages that end up in divorce. At the end of the day, we are all people and we have more similarities than we do differences. |

It is very hard to come with a general statement if it can or can't work. I have seen it working and i consider that it depends mostly on the two ppl who want to enter into marriage. Being married to a foreigner is a challenge itself let alone if they are from different religion. In my understanding if the couple has clear view ab their differences and expectations ab the marriage and set beforehand their priorities and goals as a couple the marriage will be successful no matter what their religion is. |

Yes, i'd say it can work.
Marriage is about give & take, sharing & communicating, it just means that you have to work a little harder & be more considerate towards each other. The same is true of people from different cultures as well as religion.
My marriage has worked well, i'm an English Christian married to an Egyptian Muslim, & we have just passed our 7 year anniversary & still going strong. My husband & i both know of 2 other likewise couples, & theyr doing well too. |

YES!!!!!!!! sometimes complicated it can be, but aren't most things that are worth anything at least a bit challenging? I was a sideline type of presbyterian at the time of marriage to my egyptian, muslim hubby, but now I'm just spiritual and we're fine. I also think the more time a muslim man has spent out of a predominantly muslim country can also make him more understanding/flexible w/ things on many levels.
From my personal experience, it's not the religious aspects affecting life as much w/ one another, but the cultural clashes from the egyptian background part of things that sometimes arise from him AND his extended family...so it's minimized greatly by keeping distance and we all live happily ever after! |

No. The bible teaches people not to marry someone of another religion. |

no it won't work cuz Muslims like to impose their faith on others specially the kids. |
