I don't think so. I don't think it will be successful. This marriage happens only because of the need of mrs. Mooni which Doran couldn't ignore due to the social system in Dublin. it is evident she traps him ("counted all her cards again") ("She was sure she would win") It was a battle for her to win on behalf of his daughter. This is not a love based marriage. We see how Doran was seduced by Polly.
Having nothing to do he marries Polly. If he didnt he would face a load of problems like loosing job and reputation which he had earned. He knew for sure he'd be accused for this fault, he was matured so he had no excuse. Religion was so strict and dubliners were known all the faults of other people, may be Doran didn't want to subjected to those gossips.That's why he agreed for the marriage, that is hinted by the final portion of the story (Mr. Doran wants to speak to you) He notices her wrong grammer, means he doesnt love her, who will care the little faults of a lover?
Polly seems immatured here, she's a flirt and who can say she has true feeling for this person?
Anyway both seem not in love, they have to marry due to social forces. I don't think Doran would leave her after marriage cause he's society concious. (not rakish or loud voiced like others)
But they wouldn't be happy together. There are no shadows of a happy marriage illustrated.
