Can an unmarried man and woman living together and having a sexual relationship go to heaven if they love each other but do not marry?

They are believers and know what they are doing is against God's word.

They may claim/affirm they "love each other" but their relationship is still sinful. Why? Because sexual relations outside the marriage bond are wrong. Such a relationship will turn their hearts from godliness (Proverbs 7:25) and may very well lead to all kinds of complexities, even death. 

As James Leo Kropf retired pastor commented above, referring to 1 Cor 6:15-20, sexual sin is singly dangerous since it fuses 2 individuals at the soul level, as intended and destined solely for marriage.

They may still go to heaven, "yet so as by fire."
