It may take some time, but you can also work on improving intimacy. I'm not talking sexual intimacy, just intimacy in general. My wife and I (of 20 years) have been through many ups and down including depression, anorgasmia, loss of sensation in genitals, sexuality issues, health problems, etc. We had times where sex occured annually, and when it did happen...it sucked, badly.

However, we worked on being closer to each other both emotionally and physically. That didn't mean we were doing anything sexual at all, but allowing each other to get into our personal space. Sitting together, reading together, playing games together...foot rubs, hair combing, massages...walking hand in hand. Once you are capable of being close...intimately, without sex...it is much easier to expand back into a sexual context. You can realize that you are attracted to your partner as a person, without it being sexual.
