this is a committed relationship and may be marriage in the future. Does GOD frown on this?

No.
Even if there were a god, this would not be a wrong thing.

You know, I am a huge Christian, and I used to believe that God frowns upon this too, but... I don't mean to offend you if you believe in God:
I STILL believe in God but I do think that sometimes the wrong people interpret the Bible in really wrong ways. Now I'm more of a neo-Christian in that I don't think God frowns on homosexuals, or two people engaging in an act of love (which is what sex essentially is... usually), or even masturbation. These are what people do. It's human nature.
Now, I'm not saying that we should all go out and use this liberty to act like savages or animals in heat, but I do believe that a lot of what is sacred should be preserved as such, and so, no, both of you are not sinners because you have sex.
I wish you both the best--I think it's wonderful that you have found each other, especially at your age! It's a beautiful thing. People don't even HAVE to love each other to have sex--sex in itself shouldn't be sinful unless it involves violence or... you know, something criminal.
If it helps, ask yourself what kind of being God is. I imagine Him to be a kind and loving type of being, and I know such a being wouldn't frown on an act of passion between two people in love :)

With an entire universe to run, I expect that God is too busy to concern Himself with 60-something divorced and widowed people taking what could be the last chance in their lives to be happy.
God hates sin, but he commands us to be joyful. It's a sin not to try.
I suspect that you are one of the parties in the question. I'm Christian, and I say that you are doing nothing wrong.
If you are a Christian, bread and wine is the body and blood of Christ. If you aren't a Christian, it's just bread and wine.
If you are a Christian, sex is the joyful physical expression of love between two people. If you aren't a Christian, it's just a pickle tickle.
God bless you for you reasoned efforts to obey His true will.
Don't listen to any Bible-punchers who will try to tell you otherwise.

Yes they will have sin because sexual relation can be made only between widow and widower after they got married.If it is only based on commitment and each one love each other and they made sex it is an adultery .Adultery is forbidden by Allah the only one God as stated in the Qur'an.

It really shouldn't matter. If there is love there and you are comfortable with it, there is no problem. Marriage and religion are man-made things. Marriage is a way to show possession. Of course, if you want each others benefits, you need to be legally married.
I say you've possibly got 20 years or life left or more. Why spend it alone because of rules that humans made? And if sex is still an interest, more power to you.

yes God does frown on it he says first of all that if you have had a divorce you shouldn't remarry (Matthew 19:1-12) but more importantly that all sex outside of marriage is sinful.

Sex is a sacred thing and should be saved for after marriage. If it really is a committed relationship then prove it by getting married! You'll not regret it. If you have second thoughts then you probably aren't as committed as you think.

Yes, any sex out of marriage is frowned upon, so is divorce

"....[E]verything that enters the mouth passes into the stomach, and is discharged into the latrine, but what comes out of the mouth originates in the mind? It is things like these that make a man impure....As for eating with unwashed hands--that makes no man impure"

any previous wedding situation like being a widow/er, or divorce doesnt matter.
and it doesnt matter how old a person is, any unwedded sexual conduct is not showing respect to the woman.... treating her like a harlot... worse than because at least a harlot gets paid

if your not married. its a sin.
thats how I look at it.
I also dont believe in re marriage unless your spouse died.
Marriage is a once in a lifetime thing. Not like hollywood portrays. they marry whoever they feel like at the moment, and thats not how God intended.
