We're In Rocky Waters: How To Fix?

We're fighting almost everday recently about pretty much everything. We've been going out for almost a year and I really would love to keep this going.

Our fights go:
Get angry.
Get more angry.
Relax a little.
Make-up sex.
Feel better.
Wake up next day.
Get angry,

What is it exactly that triggers this?! I think you both need to pick & choose your battles. You say you fight every day for about a year & would LOVE to keeo it going?! Can't you relate to one another w/o fighting about something?! Connect on a personal, loving level?! Fighting like the Kramdens made for funny TV, but NOT real life! Get to the root of the problem so you can both heal & get over things & most of all MOVE ON & have a loving relationship & not a verbally abusive one! Only you & your partner can make the decision if this is worth fighting for (pardon the pun). Fight for things that matter! If you're fighting over every lil thing, you may want to evaluate why you're both together in the first place! Good luck! ^..^

You guys need to work on your communication skills and try to understand both sides of the argument. If your arguments become too heated, take a break, and try to talk things out after you both have cooled down. Based on your daily pattern, it seems like you guys have the makeup sex without genuinely making up. You need to really analyze your relationship and pinpoint exactly what is causing all of these fights. I just got out of a 6 yr relationship, and our lack of truly expressing how we feel was our ultimate demise. We would let things stay bottled up, without getting down to the root of our problems, which only made our fights more frequent and severe.
