Well its the toughest thing to deal with . Your partner, who you have always loved and adored is loosing intrest in life . This does not happen suddenly . It grows gradually . And even the partner is to be blamed for that . I mean there can be several reasons for it . One might not be giving enough time to his or her partner. Or there might be no excitement in life.

I think a person , to start with should spend more time with his partner . See whether this is giving him or her comfort . I am sure it will . Talk to him about beautiful things in life, never remind him or her about his situation . Remind him of the old memories and great times you both spent together.

Take your partner out , to places that your partner really likes. Do things that you used to do together. Age doesnt matter, you are never too old to love. Try exploring each other again.

Try to do things which you liked to do together, like going to the movies , eating out may be visit some friends and relatives.

Try to make your partner feel special. Make him feel that you really care about him. Try to know what your partner really wanted to do but hasnt done it yet . Make your partner choices as yours . Take your partner for a vacation if possible , i know everyone is busy but a little time can be extracted for your partner . Try making dinner for your partner , and may be a candle light dinner with some romantic music . Make your partner feel special , make your partner feel that he or she is very important for you and there is no life without him .

Its not necessary to do big things to make someone feel that he is very important for you , just by saying i you love can do the trick . A kiss full of love can do wonders . Money is not that important , spending time together is the most important and wonderfull thing .

A good conversation every now and then can solve many problems, and it makes it easy to understand what your partner wants in life . It works both ways , both the partner should know what his partner wants in life .

If the partners are spending time with each other , the situation of loosing intrest in life will never arise . I have seen a couple who are atleast 70 years old. They fight like hell, but i often see them sitting in the ice cream parlour having an ice cream and smiling and chatting. Thats what love is . On seeing them i always wonder whether i will be that lucky to spend such a time with my partner at that age.

So spending time with each other is the most effective way.

I went through a period like this, when I lost interest in life, and it was because I had an uncaring partner. He's gone now, and it's amazing how hard it is to get back into life after isolating yourself for so long.

Remember that there can be physical and organic reasons for depression causing someone to lose interest in life. Many men experience this right after retirement too as the reality of an endless summer for life sinks in.
