There is only way to correct this and still maintain the GFCI protection of BOTH outlets, AND have them operate independantly of each other.
1. turn off your breaker. 2. remove both outlets from the boxes. (do not remove the wires yet) 3. Identify which of the 2 receptacles has 2 sets of wires attached to it. (that's 2 blacks and 2 whites)
on the outlet that has 2 sets of wires attached to it - is one set of wires attached to screws at the top of the receptacle (load side) and 1 set attached to the bottom set of screw (line side)
if so, remove the set of wires from the screw terminal labeled as LOAD. this WILL be identified on the back of the receptacle - and place them under the screw terminals labeled as LINE. you will now have 2 sets of wires on the line side of this GFCI. the screw terminals are labeled which is black and which is white
If the other receptacle has only one set of wires (1 black - 1 white) then you are done.
However, GFCI number 2 (the one with one set of wires) should have been the one that has been tripping. If I were you I would replace it. also make sure the ground wires are connected on each of the GFCI's
