Could one write this word as 構【かま】い愛【あい】?

question
kanji compound-verbs
Kanji for かまいあい?
As noted in the comment, it is 構い合い although it is more of an improvisation
and not a common word.

あい here is a nominalization of あう, suffix meaning _each other_ :

  * 助け合う _to help each other_ → 助け合い
  * 話し合う _to have a talk (among people)_ → 話し合い

Since 構う means _to take care of/look after_ , 構い合い more or less means the same
thing as the preceding お互いに面倒をみる(こと).
