do you mean that you have a primary key on table a with an fk to table b? and 
on table b you have a primary key and an fk to table a?
 
if so, you've created a circular referential integrity constraint. The table 
deadlocks since the values must exist in the other (tables a and b) table. 
There are several solutions:
 
1. if the db supports it, use deferred constraints (check the docs)
2. remove one of the FK constraints from one of the tables
