If you are in love with only one person, and have been for a very long time, at that time is sex or love making okay?

Everywhere. Fornication is one among a host of other references. Sex is between husbands and wives. So whatever it takes in the society you are in to declare you man and wife, that's what determines what's right or wrong. A good indicator that something is amiss is when you question whether something is wrong or right.

Hello Sunshine! The reference you are looking for is 1 Corinthians 6:18-20.
Being in Love with someone for a very long time often leads to premarital sex. I am sure you have thought about the consequences for a very long time.
God does not approve of fornication(Sex before marriage). The behavior more often than not lead to unwanted pregnancy, and a life of promiscuity. The behavior also leads to delayed commitment for marriage.
Most men say within their mind, "what difference does a piece of paper make"? She has already acquiesce to my needs.
Some men and women want the convenience without the commitment. If you love him that deeply,then make plans to marry.
God will bless you if you choose to honor him by honoring his word in this sensitive regard.
Be Strong.

First, we must use the appropriate terminology, that being, as has been stated: "Fornication", which Webster's defines as "consensual sexual intercourse between two persons not married to each other".
In the New Testament, Galatians Chapter 5 has this to say:
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
Note that entire list. A large number of self-styled modern moralists like to pick and choose and ignore what they find inconvenient on that list.
A little additional terminology: "Adultery" requires that at least one of the sexual partners be married to someone else. Adultery is condemned even more than is fornication.

Act 15:29, That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication
fornication means sex outside of marriage, so according to the bible sex is not okay under the circumstances you've described.

It's called fornication in the Bible and is mentioned all throughout the Bible. Fornication is a huge sin like adultery.

Some people apparently could carry on like little bunnies...
2 Samuel 11:2-5 "Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house, and from the roof he SAW A WOMAN BATHING; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance. So David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, 'Is this not ... the wife of Uriah the Hittite?' And David sent messengers and took her, and when she came to him, he lay with her... And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, 'I am pregnant.'"

I believe it is in the Ten Commandments for starter, as many other places.
If you love someone so very much. Do you have to have sex with them! Is that the only way you can show your love, and feel close to them! Love is so much more than that.
It is not just the Physical side of it. That is just part of it, and when you decide to have long relationship with someone, it shouldn't be based on sex. Think about it.

1 Corinthians 7:9 -- But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 -- 3It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; 6and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. 7For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

The Bible calls that fornication, and explicitly forbids it in several places.
But I don't concern myself with sexual advice written by an ascetic cult 2000 years ago.
