If he is not a "practicing" Muslim perhaps. But, if he is serious about it, it is very unlikely. You might get along fine, but if you have a daughter, the day she hits puberty, the fertilizer will hit the fan. They are very restrictive in the rearing of daughters.

You meant 'Can a Christian woman marry a Muslim man and make their marriage successful'? Of course she can! Whether she should is another story.
It will all depend on a number of circumstances, their attitudes, how their religious view complement each other, etc.
Sorry, you can't get a yes/no answer to such an oversimplistic question.

You know i have a weird situation like that: my mother is a jehovah's witness (they are christians hardcore) and my stepfather is a muslim. They got married but 10 years later (today) they are in the process of divorce.
Really, if i were you try to see why you are in love with this person:
1) Try to see this person for what he/she is not by how you want them to be
2) Don't feel that you love him because you feel he will take care of you (dependence on him/her). Usually dependence is a bad factor and if you are this type of person in whatever relationship; you can bet that this relationship won't last because remember the other person has needs too (emotional needs) not only you
3) Try living with him/her for about 6 months. REMEMBER...dating someone and living with someone are two completely different things. Usually, when you live with someone and have come to figure out bad their bad qualities and work with them you will find out that you will have a more satisfying relationship
4) Find out what are his bad qualities and whether or not you will be able to live with them: remember all of us have our imprefections not to mention qualities which may upset our partner. My ex-boyfriend was into other woman...despite our current (homosexual) relationship..it really was something I couldn't deal with
5) FIgure out whether or not his religious belief will stand in the way of each other: remember he is entitled to his religious beliefs and so are you. But the sad reality is: that both religions you guys have are against each other if anything: both faiths require you to preach to each other: THIS WILL BE A PROBLEM AS IT WAS SHOWN BETWEEN MY MOTHER AND MY STEPFATHER
Realize how important is your religious beliefs v.s. your love for each other...if you religion is an important part of your life...you can just expect to have a relationship full of conflict...just like putting a cat and a dog together and expecting both of them to love each other in the end

I would think it would be very hard to work out. The religions are very different and pretty stict in some areas. I would think things would become even harder in family situations and when you had children. You should think very carefully about everything before you marry - because things could get very ugly.

Of course! Although I am not married, my boyfriend is Muslim and I am christian. It doesn't matter to him what my faith is and vice verse. He is open-minded, as long as I don't try to convert him to my religion and why would I. Think of it this way, you both are still worshipping the same deity under a different name--Allah and God.

My father was raised Roman Catholic. His second wife is a practicing Muslim and they've been married for 25 years.

Yes, As long as you don't push your religions on each other!!! You each have your own beliefs, as far as the wedding, you could have your type of person there, and he his, and they both could marry you. Its not a bad thing for you guys to have seperate activities from each other, even religion. People of different faiths get married all the time and it works.. My husband and i both believe in one thing: Neither of us believe in organized religion...... we believe in god, we even pray sometimes, but neither of us believe that you have to go to church to prove your faith. Good luck!!!
