Trying to rekindle our love

Like with everyone life gets in the way, things happen and people like me tend, to put their guard up, to protect their heart after being hurt so many times, I have been with the same man for almost 5 years and We have been through a lot, that some may question why are you still with him, well he is the father of my child and it's hard to explain, I know he isn't a bad person he just makes stupid decisions.

How would you try to rekindle love once lost?
