Can two different faiths make it work long term? I'm a non-denomination Christian and he is a Seventh Day Adventist, can this work?

Depends on how strongly each believes his faith.
A convicted believer will have a difficult time reconciling his beliefs with others, and when children are born the issue becomes even more difficult.
I would not recommend becoming "uneqally yoked" as Scripture says. Unity in belief is good for a marriage.
Disagreements will drive a wedge between you.

It depends upon the compromises that you are both willing to make. Be sure that you talk about how you wish to educate your children in matters of religion before you take the relationship much further. I, for one, would not be willing to have my children raised as Seventh Day Adventists, but if you are willing to do so, that is your decision.

I think it can work if you believe in God more than your religion. Religion is organised by man. One of God's gifts to us is the gift of discernment. It is a gift to the individual so that he/she can give true value to what is being taught by the church.
You know....if in doubt?...trust your own opinion a little more.
We have found out that all humans make mistakes.
Give yourselves credit, and really hash opinions out. You might develope a more concrete belief in God together.
I think Jesus asked us to be God Like, and not religious....but I would research before you take my word. If I find the verse I will add it.
Good luck

The Bible @ 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 reads do not
become unevenly yoked. I worked with someone
years ago, she was a muslim and her partner
was of another religion and she said this to me,
if you ever get involved with someone do not date/
marry someone of another religion than yours. This
is what the Bible teaches.

I am a witch and my husband is atheist. My sister is wiccan, my mother is Buddhist and my dad is Christian. We all work just fine. And we have really cool and diverse holidays. Making it "work" is all about respecting what the other believes and being open to anything they have to say. Love is stronger then a lot of things. Its supposed to be the basis of faith.

Are those really two different faiths?
Not really.
It really depends on how devout you both are, i.e. whether or not at least one of you insists that you are right in how you follow your faith and insists that the other conform to that belief.

why not??? thousands of people do it, as long as you don't try to convert each other.
you both believe in your form of god the details don't matter
only your love matters and your common sh ared goals

I'm thinking Not.
Ask Him if He believes in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
If he does NOT--I'D SCOOT RIGHT OUTTA THERE!!!!!!
