Only to the extent that an obedient wife (and I'm reading in Biblically obedient) is complimented by a husband who respects and cherishes the sacrifice she is willing to make towards the marriage by doing so and the husband doesn't abuse or take advantage of the situation or circumstance.
If you mean obedient like a dog, then the marriage is doomed regardless.

If the marriage is sincere, and communication is open from the beginning, a marriage can absolutely be successful! I use my parents as an example. My mother has never been obedient. They are partners in the marriage. They are equals. My father has always treated her that way. They are fast approaching their 35th anniversary. Yes, they're going through councelling together right now, but they're using it as a way to re-open the channels of communication. When you've been together for as long as they have, you sometimes take things for granted and assume your spouse can read your mind. Sometimes it takes a third party to help each other listen again. From what I've seen, they are stronger together for working through this rough patch together.

Obedient is defines: submissive to the restraint or command of authority
I don't think you can have a a successful marriage WITH obedience.
A good marriage is based on mutual respect and sharing decisions. Obediance does not take the other persons needs and desires into account.

Let me put it this way, I don't it would be much of a marriage other wise. I think the wife should know the husband enough to know what he wants, like after he comes home from work, to not need to be ordered. I think the that in any relationship there should be compromise, and caring. I think that anyone who is not a sadistic will know enough to get out of a relationship where they are being controlled, or where someone is trying to control them.
All 'N' all, I think that if someone is putting up with that long enough to marry, then there's little if any chance of them braking it off. I don't think it's right, but then you already knew that

A marriage can only work if you're obediant to each other. There has to be a balance between both husband and wife.

Yes; I've been married 30 years to my first husband, and I am his first wife. I am not obedient, nor am I defiant. We don't always agree, but we respect each other's opinions. And
we live in America, so we have the right to our own opinions.
We have three kids. You have to get a yes from both parents
to do something if you are under age. Worked for us.

If your expecting her to be obedient to your every whim like a little puppy dog - then no, it will probably never work and you will more than likely end up divorced. But if you are expecting her to respect your wishes and you be respectful to her than a marriage has way more of a chance to succeed.

Should be a compromise, with the husband being equally loyal and obedient

I think obedient is the wrong word. I think they should both have respect and understanding for each other. They should be loyal, honest and loving. What could go wrong there?
