Answer
Salaam brother Arsalan.
We cannot tell you this. Only Allah swt knows whether a marriage will be successful or not. Asking others to test compatibility in this way is a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah!) That is a big sin. Accept that only Allah knows, and only He can help you. You should also do istikhaarah yourself, this is the sunnah. Please take a look at the links below on Istikhaarah. Read them carefully and then do it yourself.
When doing Istikhaarah bear in mind that we are asking Allah to guide us towards what is best for us. Submit to Him and trust that He will guide you. Istikhaarah is not about dreams necessarily. It is asking Allah to make the path towards what is good easy.
