If they can accept the differences and put up with the hassle of separate cooking that is one factor in their favor. The next issue is how they will raise the kids. They'd better be sure they have concord on this before they get married.
My daughter is a lifelong vegetarian married to a meat-eater. They make sure there is food for the both of them and he mostly does the meat cooking. Their religion allows meat-eating and so the child is being raised eating meat, but when he is old enough to understand, I'm sure he will learn why his mother abstains.

Honestly -- the odds are slim. You are setting yourself up for a life of regret.
I'm vegetarian and have been in relationships with women who were not, and it caused friction and pushed us apart. Eating is a very intimate activity -- it's one of the reasons why people ask each other out on dinner dates. When you're eating, you're exposed and vulnerable. Shared meals are a big part of good relationship, and if you can't share even your basic sustenance, it's hard to -- over the long term -- have as much invested in the other person.
I'm not trying to discourage you from trying, but I am encouraging you to be realistic. There are legions of meat-eaters out there, and you should have no trouble finding a compatible one. The same goes for your partner.
Whatever you decide, best of luck!

Good. i have a friend who is a vegetarian and her husband hunts/eats meat. they've been together like 10 years, married for 7...but they are having problems, but i don't think its the food choices. Its other stuff, like money and kids.

Excellent.
I have been married to one for 22 years and with her for 24. I fell in love with her not her diet.
Try the veggies. You can have all three. Veggies, Non Veg and her.
Now that's one heck of a menu I would say

I know several people who are in that situation.
As long as the veg isn't preachy to the meat eater, and the meater isn't always trying to gross out the veg, should be no issues.
Basically like any marriage it comes down to respect.

Sweet Lord! You're veg and non-veg! It's not a hindu trying to marry a catholic!
Seriously, what's the big deal? Unless she's psycho about your not being a veg. Does she yell, "You're eating a baby [insert poor defenseless creatrure here]!" or anything?

i don't think non-veggie and veggie is a huge deal...all you have to do is buy two different types of food, which is not hard. and if you go out to eat, just order what you want. if you're mature enough to respect each other's differences, the marriage should be ok

Slim but possible...Cooking will be a pain though...you have to cook in seperate pans...and BBQ on seperate grills....well...for pure vegis right? Or else you get the meat oils.

Probably the same as any regular marriage.

That depends on whether they can just agree to disagree and tolerate each others perferences without trying to change them. I think you will be making your own dinner though.
