Altar? I'm fearful of marriage (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marital

'of marriage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'altar? i'm fearful' is the wordplay.
'fearful' is an anagram indicator.
'altar'+'im'='altarim'
'altarim' anagrammed gives 'MARITAL'.

(Other definitions for marital that I've seen before include "related to union" , "Maybe husband's" , "to do with life together" , "Of the nature of marriage" , "alliance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
