[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t. We can track each other’s cars, which is helpful for planning dinner and the like, but we otherwise don’t share locations. [/quote]

Same, we can track cars but not phones. We do have our kids' phones on Life 360 though.

For my husband, it's for ease of knowing when he might be coming home. For my kids it's being able to see where they are and how they're getting there. I would never watch my husband's car app like I do my kids' Life 360 because I don't care where he is or where he's been, it's more how long until he walks in the door when he's driving and I don't want to bother him with a text or a call.

My opinion of this is similar to the celebration of Valentine's Day/Mother's Day/etc. - if you have a happy marriage and you feel generally celebrated/loved by your spouse all year round, those holidays don't mean much to you because you don't have the need for them to pay attention to you since they do it all the time. With the tracking, if you're a controlling person who wants to always know where your spouse is and what they're doing then sharing location is going to make that issue worse. But if you're in a trusting marriage, you're not stalking your spouse.

Basically, things like Hallmark holidays or location sharing apps only amplify bad behavior, but they themselves aren't the problem, it's the underlying issues (i.e. being with someone who ignores/doesn't respect you or being with someone who is controlling). [/quote]
