It's possible, of course - but consider: something like 50% of marriages in the West fall to bits eventually. If we assume that the couples in both groups have the same degree of difficulties (which they probably don't) then all of the impediments caused by the differences you mention will definitely make it less likely than normal that this couple will work.
Or, put another way, if most marriages fail because of problems caused by the difference between the two people, then the couple you describe will have an uphill battle.
Any pairing of two people has four components for each person: the things they want and get, and the things they don't want and don't get; the things they want and don't get, and the things they don't want and get. That is: two kinds of satisfaction, ad two kinds of dissatisfaction.
When you first get together, you ignore the negatives, and enjoy the positives. Everyone's happy. But the way our minds work means that over time we start to take the positive for granted, while the negative increasingly annoys us. It's like walking a long distance with a stone in your shoe.
Eventually we stop noticing the great sex, the excellent conversations, the splendid teamwork - and it beings to drive us crazy that the other leaves the toilet seat up. We may be ready to divorce someone we once adored because they leave stuff on the kitchen table.
To begin with the differences you describe may just be a challenge, but in time they could become intolerable. Perhaps, though, you can anticipate this problem, and work together to block it.
Good luck,

I believe that it would be difficult for two people with very different sets of core values to have a successful marriage. As long as the individuals core values are in line, everything else is just flava.

Probably not. The old saying that opposites attract is just that ....a saying. Even in physics opposites don't attract, they repel. In the long run you need someone with similar likes and interests and backgrounds. Not saying it's impossible though. Just my opinion.

It means more work than usual to keep it together.
If there is a commitment- and an understanding of what commitment really is, it would work.
Commonalities make it much easier.

It is possible if one them are willing to change, to what the other does, or willing to except and respect each other's way of life..
