set up a household

Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, Cyril Tollari
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Sounds decidely quaint, and also, not at all the right register for this kind of document. 'Foyer' is the wrong kind of 'household' here. Cf. 'foyer fiscal', and also cf. archaic 'hearth' in EN.

thanks Tony you could be right indeed

B D Finch
: Even if quaint, it is accurate, as a couple might cohabit in sombody else's household, before setting up a household of their own.

: More appropriate language for the context. / Note to BDF: It's not 'concubinage' until they are living together in a household of their own.

fondé un ménage / fondation d'un ménage
«Des jeunes pourraient être tentés de fonder un ménage, mais ils restent avec la famille, remarque Kevin Hughes. D'autres se mettent en colocation, défaisant des ménages.»
https://www.jstor.org/stable/41082254
tend à donner aux jeunes gens l'entière liberté de fonder un ménage à leur gré, fût-ce sans le consentement des parents.

Date de la fondation du ménage commun Accord Le but de cet accord consiste à conserver des droits éventuels aux rentes de survivants en faveur du conjoint / de la onjointe d'une personne ayant droit à la prévoyan e ou à la rente, suivant l'arti le 11 du règlement de prévoyan e.
https://db0nus869y26v.cloudfront.net/fr/Système_familial_sel...
« Un lien faible entre parents et enfants, un attachement modéré de l'individu au groupe familial, entrainait à l'inverse un départ précoce des enfants, souvent antérieur au mariage. l'installation dans une vie conjugale impliquait la fondation d'un ménage autonome, associant au plus les parents et leurs enfants, en un noyau minimal.
| agree |
Tony M
: 'ménage' is definitely the right term here — cf. 'scènes de ménage' and also 'ménage à trois'

Discussion
Il semble plus probable que ce soit la 2e option.
Ce pourrait donc être, comme le dit Claude-André et B D Finch :
date à laquelle ils ont fondé un foyer (bien à eux );
date à laquelle ils ont fondé, formé ou constitué un ménage.
Ne pas oublier que « A household » ce sont tous les occupants d’une maison; pas nécessairement d’une seule et même famille...
