It makes no difference what the ORIGINs of the word romance and chivalry were, in terms of our understanding of the concepts today. It is romantic for a man to buy his wife flowers for no special reason, tell her to go relax while he watches the kids, spend time with her late at night just talking, and yes, open the door for her. It is chivalrous for him to put her needs ahead of his own, warm up her car on a cold day, give her his jacket when she is cold, and yes, OPEN THE DOOR FOR HER. Talk about tznius all you want, if a guy won’t do that, he is a boor. He is supposed to protect her and show more kovod to her than to himself. These are ways in which he can do so.
