Does "彼女作れ" just mean "get a girlfriend?

How about sentences like "get a husband" or "get a partner". Would I still use
作る there?

question
translation
Does 作る mean "get" in this sentence?
Yes, the verb 作る is used in Japanese to express the idea of 'getting' a
girlfriend/boyfriend. Think of it as being similar to the English phrase "to
make friends" with someone, but instead, it's "make a girlfriend/boyfriend".
So your translation "get a girlfriend" is reasonable. By the way, you can also
use it for making friends: 友達を作る.

For "get a husband/wife", 作る is not generally used. The most common way to
express that is probably to simply to refer to marriage, i.e. 結婚する or
something along those lines.
