You can live location share with google maps, you can do it for a set amount of time or until you turn it off again.
Wouldn’t be the weirdest thing for spouses to have it permanently turned on for each other.

WA location sharing (at least on Android) sucks ass though. They haven’t properly implemented the notification Android requires apps to give for background location access, so it exclusively works if WA is running in the foreground. It just stops updating if the person sharing locks their phone or closes WhatsApp.
Google Maps sharing is much better it also allows you to select any time limit in 1 hour steps, or permanently (until it’s turned off again), instead of the WA presets of ¼, 1 or 8 hours.
