Some people can pull it off better than others if I'm honest
You can be an incredibly religious person but as long as you're willing to accept that they can have their own beliefs and whatnot and aren't going to force them to believe in the same thing as you and they have a mutual idea that you cannot control once beliefs then yeah you could get things to work out as for cultures well that's even easier that's a lot easier actually unless of course you both just happened to come from to cultures that either drastically contradict each other or have a lot of attention between the two such as an Arabic woman dating or even marrying a white man from the United States could it work sure it could work it's worked before and is working with plenty of people but even so there is a lot of challenges that come with that including one or both families being rude or worse of course this isn't always the case but generally is
However if a person from the United States or to get into a relationship with someone from let's say Sweden that would be a lot less difficult to deal with because while we do have drastically different cultures our cultures are fairly compatible
Another example of two cultures that are compatible would be a Spaniard and a Mexican they both share similar customs and ideologies so while they are different they could still probably make it work
An example of an incompatible culture would be Irish and Japanese. The Japanese are somehow both very disciplined and job-oriented with good manners and very quiet personalities and yet somehow also outlandishly cartoonish because somehow they do both and they are very good at it and you got to respect and love it honestly where is the Irish are loud prone to insulting each other have a lot of drunks and witness a fair sum of bar brawls and I don't think I need to tell you how that isn't going to work
Also yes I do understand that these things are pretty stereotypical and I also understand not every Japanese person is outlandishly cartoonish and not every Japanese person is a strict job oriented person but these are both fairly common in Japan just as not all Irish people are drunk alcoholics who pick fights with everyone they see and scream insults out the window but there is still a lot of people in Ireland who do that
These are just generalizations because I cannot account for every single human being inside of two whole countries I am not a robot and I'm not a government
u The answer very much depends on the two individuals involved and their ability to maintain respect despite their differences. I have been dating a Chinese woman since December 2020 and I am optimistic that we will make our relationship work well indefinitely.
I think it can be successful but both will have to work for it. Both need to accept each other's culture and respect it. I support such marriages as they're not boring and regular like most other marriages.
Divorce rates are pretty high in the Western countries despite the fact that those people are marrying someone from a more familiar background so I don't think a similar upbringing can really save a marriage.
Marriages are saved by mutual understanding, compromise, communication, respect and above all fidelity.
People have published books on how they did it and made it work but I would need a guy who is honest that he would never try to convert me and I would need the freedom to be myself and not a PR slave to make peace.

I've been married for 20 years to someone from another country. We have different beliefs and some parts of our cultures are similar and others different. It's not drastic because we're both from westernized nations, but there are some glaring differences.
It the beginning it was fun to share all those differences. Not so much anymore, but now we look for similarities.
There are too many variables to say one way or another, but these marriages do have a high failure rate, in part because they are often actually marriages for permanent residence or financial benefits. But cultural and religious differences do put a lot of pressure on relationships.
It is doomed to fail. You don't marry one person, you marry their family, their culture and their country. Vice versa.
religion - depends how "religious" they really are but if they are committed to the religion and you're not willing to convert then i don't think it'll work.
Cultures - yes, cultures are apart of you but not who you are entirely
Yes long as mutual respect and communication occurs.
Marriage can be difficult with out these things. These two can sometimes be very difficult to cope with..
Can go either way.. like most other marriages. To improve chances I'd suggest to talk about and find agreement on core values before marrying.
Many have succeeded That depends on their willingness to accept their differences.
Psychologists say no, this marriage can not be successful
they certainly can be easily.
Lmao no
