Finding love and spark again

I’d love some ideas that’s helped others find the love and spark in your relationship again. 2020 was by far the hardest yr we’ve had, we both have worked full time hours our entire relationship, we made time for the sex and cuddles it just happened so naturally. Then all of a sudden it was out the window, there is very small talk between us and very little laughs. Our conversations is literally over dinner about our day, all the pressure is on me I have no help with cooking or cleaning, but I just want to feel the love back from him like we once did. We have agreed we both care for each other but still have no idea how to get back to where we once were happy. I believe depression has played a big part in my partners life over the last 12 months we are both hermits at home and would rather stay in but what do we do? I’m honestly feeling like this is our last chance to fix this but I need some help please.

Whenever I hit a "rut" I start practising the little things. Make sure you go to bed together and when you do, cuddle up and say one thing you're grateful for about them.
Do little things to show you care. My partner and I have a whiteboard on the fridge where we leave each other notes. Sometimes all it says is "I love you", but it's like a nice little surprise.
Go back to basics. Shower together, put your head in his lap when you watch tv together, buy a stupid mug you see at Coles cus it reminds you of him.
If you focus on trying to get back to where you were, you'll focus on how you ended up where you are, rather than looking forward to where you want to be.
