MR. NIGER D.

This acronym stands for characteristics of living things. I'm not teaching Biology today but let's view it with respect to relationship.
.
M stands for movement
No stagnancy, you must move forward not backward or rotating like a pendulum. No lady or even men wants to be "just friends" for 2 years and then "in a relationship" with you for 4-7 years. It shouldn't take a wise visionary man/woman up to 7 years to make up his/her mind on whether to take the lady to the altar or not/to accept him or not. I hope you know I didn't say rush, I said don’t prolong matters, when you have interest and prayed over it, move forward to the next level!
.
R stands for Respiration
Breathing in and out which is an evidence of living. Now, who gives life or allows breathing? God. Connect to God no more no less, a relationship without God as the foundation and director is heading for destruction. He alone can sustain you both, six pack, figure 8, sex skills, fame or wealth cannot, only God. You need to inhale the right substance to get the correct output.
.
N stands for Nutrition
Your Word have I hid in my heart that I may not sin against thee so the Psalmist said. The Word of God is the greatest nutrient for a relationship (marriage or courtship) that plans to continue living. Next to that is communication, the blood of the union, understanding, and the veins that should not be disconnected.
.
I stands for Irritability
It means responding to Stimuli. Be sensitive to avoid anything that can have a bad impact on the relationship, no room for infidelity, say no to bad characters or attitudes.
.
G stands for Growth
In this aspect it is your own personal growth first, read books, attend seminars, acquire skills and knowledge. Support the growth of each other, one shouldn't be stagnant and the other growing, grow together as much as possible.
.
E stands for Excrete
Eliminate negative influence, evil company corrupts good manners. Who are your advisers? Flush out bad traits and their advices!
.
R stands for Reproduction
Be productive or fruitful; this is both a physical and spiritual command to men and women and it's not only centered on child-bearing. Helping your partner fulfill destiny is fruitfulness, seeing you both in tune with God is fruitfulness, your impact to others is also another, then your children and so many more and do not forget the place of evangelism!
.
D stands for Death
Man dies if the characteristics listed above are malfunctioning while plants dies if we fail to water them or absence of sun and humidity. Death also occurs if there is malnutrition. You can kill your relationship or quench the spirit if all the characteristics listed above are malfunctioning or stop working!
.
A relationship where there's no communication, mutual love, respect and commitment dies quickly before it's been realized.
.
Some persons are even dead while living, they are just existing; is your relationship like that too, living or existing? Check it and bring it alive or keep this in heart for usage at the right time if you're single.

Shalom
