Angelfish Crazy Aggression

My angelfish pair in my 55 gallon, typically very peaceful with each other, are beginning to fight each other a lot. They started scrapping a few months ago but typically only before they lay eggs. Its still within a few days of laying eggs but the fighting has escalated. The female will constantly flare and shake at the male and it eventually turns into full on charges at him. He typically doesn't retaliate but there have been times he also attacks her. Its happening with increasingly frequency throughout the day and they're getting pretty beat up, although it seems like just peripherial damage to the skin. Its tough to break up the aggression when they follow each other around all the time. They're a little over a year old and have been breeding for 8 months.
The male of my pair has always been pretty territorial but that behavior is getting worse as well. He always singles out my sunset gourami and lunges from across the tank at it. So when he's not beating the tar out of his mate, he's chasing the gourami around the tank. However, the gourami can't seem to stay away from the angelfish pair and it's always following them around the tank and doesn't seem to know to stay away. Another interesting thing is it's only that gourami he singled out. He won't go after my Pristella Tetras, which are far smaller than the gourami. He also won't chase my honey gouramis and will stare down my BN pleco but won't get close. Again, it wouldn't be an issue if the gourami would just stay away.
And to make matters worse, the female is starting to emulate his behavior.
So basically, when my angelfish aren't beating each other up, they are chasing my sunset gourami around the tank. And it's not like the pair split up either, they just laid eggs a few days ago, so I got 3-4 days of peace and then its back to a thunderdome. Anyone ever dealt with this before and can it be resolved without giving the pair away?

Edit: going to try to do some kind of floating plants (probably fake for an immediate fix, plus I have a lid on the tank) to try to restrict angelfish movement and provide cover since the gourami wants to be at the top so much. I know people have used green yarn for goldfish breeding, could something like that work here for an inexpensive fix? I might try adhering it to the middle bar of the tank

 

A sight break does wonders, wisteria is good and bushy let’s them be out of each others site ... I had a similar issue and that fixed it, a coworker had a pair do this and it did not ... sometimes they’re just pugnacious and have to be separated seems like

I read its normal for them to act that way before spawning, they've been at it for 8 or 9 months now. It's just pretty extreme but they've settled down considerably in the past few days. Its tough breaking lines of sight when my fish seem to be seeking out trouble, especially since that gourami doesnt seem to want to leave the angels alone

Yeah, mine get very aggressive when spawning with everything in the tank, but calm down after. I assume it’s some sort of territorial instinct kicking into over drive

 

I'm starting to see that in one of my angelfish right now. I have a total 4 (3 males and 1 female) She likes to hang out on one side of the tank, she will literally chase any angelfish that come into her territory away except Gabriel (My wife says he's the baby daddy, but I haven't found eggs yet). She has tried to go after my BN a few times only to get rammed right back, she didn't like that and there is a reason that Dyson my BN pretty much rules the tank when he wants to, he can get attitudinal at times. The neons don't really care for the angelfish so they are staying a way, the cories will wander over there and get chased away as well...again I assume this is part of the breeding behavior, they definitely have some big personalities to be honest!
