My thoughts on this song were actually kind of opposite of what southernpunk777 said. I think this song is about the singer having an affair with someone else who is also married. The singer wants to stay with his mistress and the mistress feels the same. They kill their respective spouses and just go back to each other and continue with their lives together. THe chorus kind of gives it away for me. The first two lines are about his wife's reaction to him cheating. The bucket of water and match metaphor meant to me that she wants to keep trying with their marriage but he keeps putting it down and is giving up.

That's my take on the song.
