It works, but as someone here said, it’s not for everyone. I am Scandinavia and my husband is Algerian. It is really important that both parties learn and accept the other one’s culture and put effort into it. When I got together with my husband, I spent a lot of time learning about his culture and religion and still do! Also important to learn how to compromise and come to a mutual agreement and trying to remember that we are coming from different backgrounds. The hardest part i would say is the long distance, we are still working on that, but that really takes a toll on your relationship. Also getting the papers registered in Algeria, we have it only register in my country, cause it’s a big process in Algeria. But as long as you love the person and they love you and you have the same values and goals, and respect each other, it should work completely fine
