Lighting a Match

Used to describe something or someone who is simple and authentic, like someone who prefers using a match to a lighter. IE: Going to farmers markets, paying in cash, going on walks, driving stick, outgoing, likes to try new places, has a favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant, cooking eggs, etc
Wow Jane just walked all the way to the farmers market on the other side of town to buy some organic eggs in cash, that’s so lighting a match.

waterproof matches

Refers to social "pairings" (i.e., friendships, romantic/business relationships, marriages, etc.) that are of sufficient "durability" that they are "impermeable to moisture-related mishaps"; i.e., the couples' bond of amicable feelings with each other will not be adversely affected by stressful/unfortunate "H20-type" events that can happen in everyday life, such as getting caught in the rain, accidentally stepping/falling into deep puddles, etc.
Waterproof matches are all well and good in and of themselves, but another true --- and necessary --- test of a compatible union between two individuals would have to be a "trial by fire"... as Tevya's young daughters vehemently remonstrated in "Fiddler On The Roof", "playing with matches, a girl can get burned"!
