settles down
Finally finds roots
To settle down is to become calm after agitation or excitement: The crowd finally settled down after the announcement.
It also means to establish a stable, routine life—often implying marriage, home ownership, or abandoning wilder habits: After years of traveling, she settled down in Vermont.
Parents tell restless children to settle down; friends ask when you'll settle down and start a family.
