Several things: Simple things such as sleep on your back, avoid excess alcohol before bed, weight loss, and some ear plugs for your partner. If you are a robust snorer, you should consider having a sleep study to determine if you have sleep apnea. This is a more serious problem, and needs medical help. Also, an oral dental appliance is a non-invasive way to treat snoring.

Dental appliance: Snoring is a vibration of soft tissues at the back of the throat including the soft palate. There is usually a partial obstruction of the airway. One needs to see a dentist who is trained in dental sleep medicine. Snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea and this must be checked for. A trained dentist can then make either a snoring appliance or a sleep apnea appliance after a sleep study is done.
