Do you think there are consequences to having sexual intamcy before mararige 1 Corithians 6:9-18?
Because the people I know that have are doing just fine and prospering.
This has been on my mind so I thought I would ask.

Sure. You can never really know the consequences others face. They may not even be aware how that decision affects them.
Hopefully, they've asked for forgiveness and that's why they are now prospering.
One thing that concerns me for your sake is that your question at least suggests that this bothers you. I think we do ourselves a disservice when we concentrate on whether or not others get what's coming to them. Sometimes it doesn't seem fair. Dwelling on the unfairness keeps us from focusing on God's blessings in our own lives. It makes it easy to be bitter, which is such a burden.

There are many churches today who say that the unchanging God has changed and that it's ok to do all sorts of things that God calls sin. Are they doing just fine and prospering? The bible says that God chastens those he loves. Are the churches doing fine and prospering because they're doing what the world is doing and not being chastened? Are they the reflection of the light of the world who is Jesus Christ?

yes I do and I speak from experience. GOD has a wedding gift, and it is the sexual bond that 2 people can have if they wait. being happily married does not require sexual compatibility. I know that will raise a stink,but love does not involve sex.love is a commitment to your partner that is much deeper than a climax. look around and u will see relationships that have lived and died because of this concept. be wise and wait, recieve GOD'S wedding gift and see what happens.

i think it is preposterous to stay a virgin till you marry. this archaic and ridiculous idea is detrimental in all sorts of ways. would you buy a car without test driving it?
sexuality is not the same for everyone. each person develops their own preferences with sex. it would be a shame to marry someone you could not stand to have sex with. if you think this doesn't happen then you are very naive.
safe sex, with all the logical precautions, can be a wonderful thing in exploring yourself and another. it can be a time for personal growth and exploration.
i do not condone (and am not insinuating) that those under the age of eighteen should engage in sexual practices. i also believe that sex should only occur with love involved, not as a one night stand.
this, however, is just my personal opinion.

just because they aren't suffering now doesnt mean they wont suffer in the long run...in the end when u stand before God u are the only one accountable for your life, and when he asks you questions about what you've done...then u will see

There is a consequence for every choice.
