If love is gone for whatever reason, can a couple really re-gain the love lost? Love can come and go, and truthfully their is a really thin line between love and hate. How can a love lost be redeemed? What steps do you think a couple needs to take to get the flame of love back on fire?

i believe that love is a matter of choice. the level of attraction (or lust, for some) may vary as the relationship matures, but the couples determine for themselves whether to stick with each other.
some do say that there is a thin line between love and hate. but it is just a matter of perspective. the person hates the one he loves because the one he loves does not measure up to his expectations. and the one you love is the only one who could hurt you most. hence, when you hurt, you hate the one who caused it.
if the attraction is dwindling, the couple should perhaps devise ways to keep their relationship exciting!

I think it all depends on the type of love that was there to begin with. If it was true love, i think it could be re-flamed. That is, true-true love, true unconditional love. In my experience though it is very hard to do. I broke up with a boyfriend going back probably 8 years ago now, and then we got back together a few months later, but it just wasn't the same fun-love we had.
The partner i have today, i believe is true love. Though i am very scared of losing him. We've been together for six and a half years and have nearly two children together.
I think if you are both honestly ready to commit again after losing each other the best way to do it is some sort of relationship counselling, and lots of bonding time, one on one.
