resparking things with the hubby?

Hi everyone! me & my hubby have been having a rough year due to alot of outside stressors, being financially tight, working alot, job loss, cancer scare, ECT.... so our romantic & sexual life has taken a back burner for almost a year now. things are finally settling down, & I know he's less stressed because he's back to doing all the little things that remind me how much he cares ❤ I want to spark things back up again, show him how much I care & bring romance & sex back into our lives, so was wondering if you wonderful ladies have some ideas, tips, and advice? I have a very hard time initiating after it has been so long & the last few times I was rejected (understandable knowing the reasons why & he's not always going to feel like it) but it still shook up my confidence. he's not much for lingerie either. any advice and ideas or tips are welcome!
