Putting it back together, the right way this time.

[Freckle6]

Time together will bring the connection back. IMO, it's not something you can really force, just like if you were dating someone new. It develops at a natural pace. For myself, it was very awkward and strange in the beginning. That went away little by little and things are much more comfortable between us now and it's not because of doing anything special other than connecting daily (chit chat type of stuff) and spending time together hanging out. As for sex, it's probably best to follow her cues on that.
