settle down 

It means to get married or commit to a monogamous relationship; probably the two most indicative words for the situation itself, born of a word that can mean "to move downward; sink, or descend," "to subdue," and "to conclude," and a word that means the "opposite of up."

"Man looks like Lester finally had to settle down and give up the player lifestyle...man, and settle isn't wrong!"
