Can you successfully co-mingle two vines, such as a Morning Glory and a Honeysuckle?

Question

I have a Honeysuckle plant split into two separate vertical "columns."  There is a wooden pillar in the middle of this plant's two vertical columns.  

I recently found the most beautiful Morning Glory hybrid I've ever seen, and it's colors will beautifully compliment my Golden Blaze Honeysuckle.  So, for next growing season, I was considering adding a Morning Glory vine to the pillar itself - right in between the two columns of the Honeysuckle.  I do recognize, however, that the two vines will undoubtedly reach out to one another and co-mingle.

Considering the nature of each of these two vines, is there a downside issue to consider, or will they just entwine, embrace, and live happily ever after?  (I've done a fair amount of gardening over the years, but never had to consider something like this.  Seems like it should not be a problem, but asking just to be sure I haven't missed something..)

there is no reason you can not do it,but be aware the honey suckle is a perinial and a lot of the morning glory species are annuals.

It is somewhat hit or miss, but it's worth a try. We tried to do it with a climbing rose and a clematis, taking the same kind shown in a nursery catalogue where they touted the combination. Unfortunately, the climbing rose is acting like a shrub and doesn't want to climb with the clematis. Different personalities, I guess.

I would go for it. Just keep an eye on it to see if they strangle each other.
