How long have you been in this relationship? It should not be that hard, It's just the simple things that work the best. Try to remember what first attracted you to each other, also remember what you first did then. Like walks in the park, small kisses in the dark, etc... as time goes by we get so comfortable with each other and begin to take each other for granted that we often forget those simple things that gave us so much happiness, joy, excitement. Like a simple post it note in the morning saying love ya! or make an unexpected lunch date. Even a simple foot massage after a hard day at work really touched the heart! Just try to remember those exciting days of when you first met and how your heart would explode and your palms would get sweaty and your breathing would be so erratic.....those days can come back and it's not really hard, just think about it. Even if you have kids and our lives become so full and busy, take that extra minute at night before going to sleep and tell her or him I love you or I really appreciate you, you look beautiful, I love your smile and a sweet tender kiss just seems to do magic! The words come from your memories and you will again feel that old flame again!

Don't spend every waking minute together. When you do get together, listen. Actively listen to your partner, laughing and talking about their day... then your day etc. Be faithful to each other, never insulting. Get a "you and me THEN everybody else" attitude.
Take one night a month and spend some time out of the house together. Go for a drive, out to eat.. anything away from the stresses you have going on.
My partner and I have just went for a drive and ended up at the lake standing in the water, holding her and looking at the stars. It was private and intimate and will be a good memory for a long time. Those types of memories build a relationship and are remembered even when things are hard.
When you do plan some time together, don't overplan. That causes stress if things don't go exactly like you had pictured.
Notice small things. If you are relaxing together, really pay attention to things about her/him that are attractive and then say so. Even if it's, "I love your feet." Or, "the curve of your wrist is sexy to me." These are real, honest statements that aren't generic, "you look nice". They mean a lot.
Good luck.
