Plebians couldn't marry a patrician because they are two different social classes and it was like a disgrace.
In the early days, the upper class people were called the patricians. However when the plebeians gained their upward mobility they also became upper class. So in the later republic both patricians and plebeians were referred to as the aristocrats or the nobility.
It was a political struggle between the Plebeians (commoners) and Patricians (aristocrats) in the Roman Republic 494 to 287 BCE, with the Plebeians pursuing political equality with the Patricians.
In the Roman Government the Senate was made up of 'Patricians' who are men from wealthy families. The 'Plebeians' were the poor people and they had no say in how their country was run.

Not all patricians were opposed to this. The conservative patricians opposed it. The liberal patricians supported it. This support helped the rich plebeians to eventually gain access to all offices of state and the priesthoods, which had been exclusively patrician. During the early republic, the patricians established themselves as a ruling class through a monopoly over the consulship and the senate. They were an aristocracy and considered themselves superior to the plebeians (commoners). They saw being in power as a privilege by birth right. Moreover, the plebeian movement started as a rebellion against the patrician-dominated state when their demands for addressing the worse aspect through which the patricians exploited poor plebeians were rejected. The patricians saw the plebeian economic grievances and demands as a threat to their profits, exploitative practices, and privilege. They also saw the rebellion as an attempt to subvert the Romans state. Eventually, with the help of the liberal patricians the rich plebeians, who were the leaders of the constantly agitating plebeian movement, were co-opted into what became a patrician-plebeian oligarchy and the rich plebeians turned their backs on the poor plebeians who had been the driving force of the plebeian movement.
Plebians and Patricians are similar because they were both Latin and worked with at least one type of republic;Plebeians worked with Assembly and Patricians worked with Senate
The Law of the Twelve Tables of 450 BC contained a law which forbade marriages between patricians and plebeians. This caused such an uproar that it was repealed and plebeians were allowed to marry patricians again.
The patricians were the aristocracy and the plebeians were the commoners.

The plebeians received a fair list of laws that fairly regulated the lives of the citizens. They were not sold into slavery for not paying the patricians. They also gained the right to marry patricians.
No the conflicts between patricians and plebeians did not lead to civil wars. The Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians ended in the mid-3rd century BC. The Roman civil wars stared in the 1st century BC. The civil wars involved a conflict between the populares, a political faction which supported the cause of the poor, and the optimates, a conservative political faction which supported the interests of the aristocracy. They also involved personal rivalries.
The patricians were the aristocrats and the plebeians were the commoners.
Yes, the patricians did share plenty of power with the plebeians. Think of the office of tribune, who was a plebeian and could veto any legislation or resolution that the patricians put forward.
