yes inter faith relationships can and do work. it isn't the faiths that say whether a relationship works or not. its how committed to the relationship each person involved is on making it work.
um as for the specific religions you mention they both have their good sides and bad sides. the best way to make the two work together successfully is by doing your research and being fully informed. before entering into any muslem Christian relationship you might want to read the book Not With Out My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody it details one woman's struggles after marrying into a Christian - muslem relationship. its based on a true story and details what her inter faith marriage was like, and much more.
this way at least you can make your decisions while being fully informed of what to expect and what it will be like should you go ahead with this relationship.
