Anything is possible, but I wouldn't recommend this....especially since you are opting to put children in the middle of it.
Anytime you marry someone of a different faith, you are asking for problems- more so when there is such a chasm between the couple's faiths.
How can you possibly reconcile Christianity and Islam?
Through the rosy glasses of love, you can say "We'll work it out as we go."
How will you raise your children? Catholics are obligated to raise their children as Catholics, Muslims as Muslims. If you say," We'll raise them as both" How will you teach them that both are right whent hey contrdict?
If you say "We'll let them choose." How can they choose when neither parent believes strongly enough that their faith is true to want it to be the faith of their children?
Will you let your children decide whether they will sit in their car seat/ Whether they go to school? What they will eat?
Of course not! Parents are there to make the choices in the best interest of their children- including for their faith lives.

sadly I don't think there is such a thing as happy ever after. That being said as long as you agree that your differences are not that big of a deal then a relationship could work out. As far as the kids are concerned, you need to be very careful. If either of you do not care about your own religion you can raise your children in the others belief. If you are both strong in your religious views i would advise against marriage. Your kids would become confused and turn away from any form of religion.

I know one that did but she converted and wears the Muslim dress. I am not sure why any western woman would want to participate in that religion but to each her own.
In general I think it is a lot easier for those who are religious to marry someone of the same faith.

a muslim man is allowed to marry a catholic woman as long as the family agreed regarding the marriage.the happiness will be up to the couple if they can make their marriage prosperous.Only muslim women are not allowed to marry nonmuslim men.

They can if they both respect each others religion. The children of a Muslim man would have to be raised Muslim as that is part of the religion. If she can handle and respect that, then they should be fine.

yes, both of my step sisters are Catholic and married Muslims. One converted and one remained Catholic. The one who remained Catholic has 3 children with her husband.

Depends how strong their feelings are about things.
I don't just mean just religious things !
I would say there is a 10 percent chance of it working it out.
Sorry, but I have grand children in this situation.

Practising Catholics are strongly discouraged to marry outside our religion.

I don't see why not. You just have to decide and plan what religion ur kids will be or what mix of the 2 religions you will use for your kids. It can always work with alot of communication on both of ur part.

Yes. anything is possible. But they have to communicate and plan and agree on how they want to raise the children. If they can find common ground on that...what's wrong with a kid having two cultures?
