Andrew and I get on — it's a match! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marriage

'a match' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'andrew and i get on' is the wordplay.
'andrew' becomes 'marr' (Andrew Marr).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'get on' becomes 'age' ('age' can be a synonym of 'get on').
'marr'+'i'+'age'='MARRIAGE'

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for marriage that I've seen before include "'The - - of Figaro'" , "Church occasion" , "The nuptial ceremony" , ""Till death do us part" arrangement" , "Formal union" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
