Honestly, I don't do that all of the time. It really depends (and I recognize that it shouldn't): If we are grabbing a bite to eat at Taco Bell, probably not. However, if we are at a restaurant, I definitely will. I also like to open the car door rather than just press a button and go to my side. Primarily, I do this because of coats, skirts, dresses, etc. getting caught in the door when it's closed. If I am over there, then I can give a final check and make sure everything is tucked.
I also place my napkin on the back of my chair when leaving the table. I always excuse myself from the table. I ask what she is having in conversation prior to ordering and order for her. However, if there are extra questions (How would you like your steak cooked, what kind of salad dressing, etc.), then I absolutely let her answer those questions. Finally, if we are on a double date, I will call the other couple and assist the other woman in coordinating attire with my wife - so that they can dress at the same level (skirt, jeans, dress) and know what colors the other is wearing. My wife typically forgets about this part, which is why I remember so she won't be embarrassed.
My mom taught me these things. I love my mom!
