Relationship troubles, 2 years into it. Need guidance - What can I / We do?

Well, me and my girlfriend have been together for just about 2 years now and have known eachother/been friend for about 4 years & for the most part, things have been great, we love eachother ALOT, we've lived together since the beginning and have gotten to know eachother extremely well. Though, we have troubles. Just been in a stressful situation for the last 2 months or so, don't want to say we've been 'at eachothers throats' because it's nothing like that. But we're both fairly stubborn people, and I've got a bit of an anger problem, that I have been improving with and trying to keep under control, so far things have been getting better.

I love this girl with all of my heart, and I can't stand the thought of ever losing her. She says she doesn't want to lose me aswell, but she says she doesn't know what to do about fixing up the relationship a bit. I would never cheat on her, or put hands on her, and she knows that. She's said that she will never leave me, and I would never leave her. But we just don't know what we need to do to get things back on track. Neither of us have jobs, and are not living on our own (we WERE at her folks house, but I'm living with my brother for now, since her parents don't want me living there anymore since no job) I've been looking for a job all day everyday for the passed 2 months, and I think that once we both have jobs and can pitch in to get our own place things will start looking up for us. I mean, it's pretty stressful having to duck & dodge to stay somewhere, so the whole situation at her house was not a good one, ALOT of stress was put on the both of us during that whole period of time. We can talk face to face, and usually have good conversations, but I want to know what to tell her, and how we can fix things up. I would love to be able to spend the rest of my life with this girl, and live a comfortable life, with no issues. Just kind of between a rock and a hard place right now, no job or anything, kind of puts more weight on our shoulders.

We have talked, and both agree that things are kind of becoming a little rocky, but we realize that, and I see that as being somewhat healthy & a good thing, that we can both catch what is going on. In no way does either of us want it to end, we just genuinely don't know what to do to make things better. In the passed we've talked about it, and noticed things, and tried to make changes, but have never had any guidance, or help, this is my first serious relationship & hers aswell. And we don't have any money for relationship counseling or guidance counseling, so hopeing to get some guidance on here.

If anyone has any suggestions or guidance, PLEASE pitch in, I'm open to any and all suggestions. I really want things to work, not to say that they havn't or they aren't, I just think things can get ALOT better with a little bit of patience and work on our part. Thanks for taking the time to read this, look forward to hearing from you all.

(please, no sarcastic/immature replies)
