Yeah, as a male, I know what it's like - my previous relationship collapsed because this played a large contributing factor. The time for each other just wanes away as your child is totally dependant on both of you. In some cases of my friends, they've had to wait for the chick's body to catch up with her mind before they could get back into the swing of things.
But it's about finding ways to nut it out until you can get back into it. Giving birth to an awesome life doesn't mean that you are deprived of certain things. You are only deprived of certain things at particular times.
My current and I now have different working shifts - she's a 9-5 person, I'm a 10pm-6am person. We have various ways of spending time together but also spending time alone, even if it's just in the room next door.
My suggestion - candles. They are subtle yet they remind people that candles are usually used on people that are trying to be impressed upon. I do it, along with vouchers that I draw up.
DISCLAIMER: If you disagree with anything I say, I am prepared to not only retract it, but deny under oath that I ever said it.
