Do you shopping mall doubters realise just how many Brownie Points you earn just being with your wife when she's trying to decide on new (insert here: shoes/curtains/nightwear/slacks/kids clothes etc, etc) !!
A nod of the head, a judicious mumble or a frown will get you lots of nice things later.
You just have to realise that by the time she asks you your opinion, she has already made up her mind to buy or reject whatever she is looking at anyway......

And the lucky man gets to carry all the heavy stuff. 
And if there any money left it is all her money!

Locally Im usually not available to go to the mall and my wife is a fast shopper BUT anytime she wants to go to the mall 4,6,8,10 hrs away Im in the Boxster before her.
And the Boxster is the best car to go weekend or long weekend shopping in.
After your suitcases (hers is big) are in the trunk and frunk, there is not much space left for shopping bags!!!!!!!! GREAT CAR!

Nah . . . hard to be offended when it's all true. 
When I met my hubby, he had 2 forks, 1 steak knife, and a frying pan. His table was a slab of glass hung on cables, and his furniture was 2 lawn chairs.
The last time we moved (all these years later) it took us 2 1/2 full size moving trucks.
That kind of shopping took some serious time.

Oh, yes. Definitely happier.
I might have to remind him every now and then, but he is much, MUCH happier.
