Energy gets woman married (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vim

'energy' is the definition.
(I know that energy can be written as vim)

'woman married' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'vi' (short for Violet).
'married' becomes 'm' (abbreviation, e.g. in genealogy).
'vi'+'m'='VIM'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for vim that I've seen before include "Energy and vigour" , "Informal energy or drive" , "Pep and energy" , "Liveliness" , "Pizazz" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
