Lives with a woman, it emerges (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it emerges' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'lives with a woman' is the wordplay.
'lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a woman' becomes 'sue' (woman's name).
'is'+'sue'='ISSUE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Matter of dispute" , "Kids" , "important point" , "Important problem" , "Result, outcome; topic" .)
