Place with Mormons making do with one husband (4)

I believe the answer is:

utah

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

'place with mormons' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'do with one husband' is the wordplay.
'do' becomes 'ut' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'a'.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'ut'+'a'+'h'='UTAH'

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for utah that I've seen before include "A hut for the Mormons, oddly" , "State founded by Mormon" , "A hut marks the State" , "Brigham Young state" , "The American Morman state" .)
