Hmm . . . I always thought it was about lost love. "No more candlelight, no more romance / No more small talk when the plate is clean." And the whole balancing of male and female singing shows that a break-up/divorce affects both parties, leaving them to sit at the kitchen table (not a fancy restaurant) watching T.V. (not each other) and eating leftovers and instant mashed potatoes.
