- Stay aware of your psychological or emotional health. Call your doctor or mental health provider if you feel any problems surfacing again, you are experiencing excessive stress, or you anticipate a stressful situation in the near future.
- Spend time alone with your partner often, especially nonsexual intimate time, to help maintain the relationship. This will most likely lead to increased sexual interest.
- Continue to communicate openly with your partner about intimacy and sexual issues.
