I don't know how I feel about this. It seems to kind of miss the mark. The way she says it makes it sound kind of like regressive traditionalism. Why look for an entrenched partner? Not being entrenched isn't a bad thing. People will go through that phase and reach a point in their lives where they want to be entrenched and circumstances allow it. If you want to be entrenched then you probably want a partner who does too. If there's a mismatch, it will be a problem. What you shouldn't do is go out and get a mortgage ASAP. Houses cost a fucking fortune now and jobs tend to be shit. It's not about being entrenched, it's about being entrenched on your terms. Ignoring the last part is a recipe for unhappiness.
