It has been estimated that 70 percent of all unmarried Christians are saved and having sex.Yet a large percentage of single people who struggle with relationships and are having sex either believe in or love God, this same God who approves of sex only if you are married.

That's like saying can you love God and still sin. Of course. However, a born again Christian desires to live a life pleasing to God. I don't shrug my shoulders and do what I please, thinking, oh God will forgive me. I don't like the things I do that are sin....and although I'm having struggles too, with other things, I take God's word seriously. God sees our hearts. He knows if I am truly seeking His will, or my own. I'm ashamed to say how often I fail at denying myself.

Yes it is possible to believe in and love God and still have sex, as long as you are married.
About the estimated 70 percent of all unmarried Christians that are having sex, I would not call christians first of all and they would not be saved, unless of course they repent.
Even though there are alot of people who probably believe in God but are not married and having sex, this still does not mean they are saved; unless they follow God's law. Its all in the Bible. As long as you are still breathing and are alive, you can still be saved and repent. Just stop fornicating or adulterating. Its all in God's Holy Bible.

Almighty God invented sex...But laid on us the requirement that it should only occur with the marriage.
(Hebrews 13:4) Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
(1 Corinthians 7:38) Consequently he also that gives his virginity in marriage does well, but he that does not give it in marriage will do better.
The second line is not a commandment but is advice for those who would choose to spend most of their time serving God. \
Once a person marries, they have certain [marriage] commitments and cannot spend the maximum time in spiritual pursuits .

If they are having sex out of wedlock, they are not saved and they are not following scripture, as they are committing adultery. When I was not saved, I did the same thing, even divorced. I have been married for awhile now and I got saved within this last year. I will now commit to this marriage no matter how bad things may get. We will just pray, as we are both born again Christians.

Who said God only approves of sex in marriage. Dogma, superstition even, fear mongering.
How do you think God creates, no wonder you Christians struggle so much with your faith it's so cluutered up with fear.
" Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law love under will ".
Do you think you can only love in marriage

Yes it is possible but then if you do have sex (if you're not married) while you say you love him you cannot keep disappointing him. You don't knowingly disappoint the people you love so why would you disappoint him? You cannot be warm, either Hot for Jesus or Cold for the Devil. It's either God or the Devil, God's Word or the Devil's, Heaven or Hell it's your choice.

Sure, but only with your spouse.
True followers of Christ live their lives by Bible principles. Anyone who thinks it's okay with God to have sexual relations outside of marriage really needs to go and read their bible. 1 Corinthians 6:12-7:9 is a good reference to look up.
Their only fooling themselves if they believe God is going to accept their fornication.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 . . .What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet that is what some of YOU were. But YOU have been washed clean, but YOU have been sanctified, but YOU have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.
Another excellent scripture of God's view:
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 . . .For this is what God wills, the sanctifying of YOU, that YOU abstain from fornication;  that each one of YOU should know how to get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,  not in covetous sexual appetite such as also those nations have which do not know God.
Here it compares fornicators to people who 'DO NOT KNOW GOD.'

The answer to the question is YES!
I disagree with your figures. How many Christians are considered "saved"? It is no where near 70%

It isn't true that God approves of sex only if you are married.
It is absolutely possible and natural to love God and have sex, even if you are not married! Becoming obsessed with sex (inside or outside of marriage) is making sex your "god" and that is not advised. A balanced loving relationship with someone inside or outside of marriage is not disapproved by God.

Doing good things. kind and religion is not the way to be save..... and mostly it doesn't mean that you are from christian, catholic, budhist you are save...... what makes people save and enjoy the promise of having to enter the kingdom of God is the faith and love within you......to believe in Jesus Christ and to accept that you are a sinner and to commit yourself to the Lord..then that surely will save you.
God BLess!
