1. get divorced/ get a divorce
She divorced her husband.
We will get a divorce.
2. get married/get a marriage.
We will get married in June.
(‘Get a marriage’ is wrong.
But you can use ‘go into marriage’.)
There are many things to consider before going into marriage.
3. get satisfied/get satisfaction.
(I wouldn’t say ‘get satisfied’ is a correct and formal expression. But people do title their videos as ‘Try Not To Get Satisfied Challenge’😂😂)
I don’t get satisfaction from doing this.
4. get engaged/ get an engagement.
We got engaged!
(‘Get an engagement’ is not right. If you want to use ‘engagement’, it’s usually when people say ‘getting engagement rings💍)

You mean you don't use expressions like "get a marriage" or " get an engagement" in any given situations?
For example,
Let's say that my sister's friend has a lot of fantasy about a marriage life.
In that situation, can I say like this ?
Hey..Tina
Get a marriage !!!
It's not so sweet as you expect....
Am I wrong ?
If so, how do you say that in a similiar meaning?

How about this one?
Women do not get satisfied easily with any perfume.

No, ‘get a marriage’ is wrong but I get what you are trying to say. Maybe you could say ‘go find someone to marry’, ‘go into marriage with someone’ or ‘go get married to someone’ but never ‘get a marriage’.
Why you would say ‘get satisfied is because ‘satisfy’ itself is a verb already. I know there are many examples where people use a verb after ‘get’ as well like ‘get shocked’. But just not ‘get satisfied’ at the very least. You could say “Women are not easily satisfied with any perfume.”
