Men take time to get households established (7)

I believe the answer is:

menages

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

'get households established' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'men take time' is the wordplay.
'take' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 'ages' (ages can informally mean a long period).
'men'+'ages'='MENAGES'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for menages that I've seen is " household communities".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
