Well, first it's best both people study the cultures of the others countries before diving into the deep end! It's also best to pre-agree that no matter what differences may be discovered, that neither one of you will try to change the others cultural, religious, political, and personal beliefs. I have a friend who hates what has happened to the American women (yes he's a chauvinist) so he searched for a culture that has not changed or has changed to the point women were 100 years ago. Japanese women fit his style perfectly even though they too have come along way. He married and is one of the happiest guys I know. A little behind in times but happy none the less!

Yes, they can be happy. I see a lot of "mixed marriages" now. I think what's important is the respect for each other and tolerence for each other's culture.
They may face problems with family traditions, the amount of affection the children might be shown, the amount of financial support the children might get, social routines etc., but nothing that's too far from what a couple with same culture might see.
The most important thing they may face is the deeply ingrained cultural biases and non-acceptance from each other's family members.

Yes, as long as they respect each others culture. I feel you need to learn as much as you can about the others culture and realize that some in the family may be disappointed with the choice made, but that can be overcome in most cases.
Good luck

Couples in healthy relationships can be happy, no matter that they're members of different ethnic groups. And couples in bad, abusive or unhealthy relationships will probably not be happy, no matter what race they are.
Interracial couples have the same problems any other couples have - infidelity, money, sex, abuse, alcohol, drugs, children, relatives, household chores ect.

I am a Chinese and a conservative one too. I know what good advice to give but I am just telling about myself. I know it's not answering your question. For me I will only marry a Chinese and no other race. I rather be single without children than to marry another race.
