Do I use the word "serenity" correctly in this sentence?

Question:----------------------
GUIDELINE TO ACHIEVE A HAPPY PROSPEROUS FAMILY

- Improve faith and piety in order to get serenity and happiness in the household life.

Answers:
NO. Several errors of style stand out and should be corrected.

You don’t “get serenity.”
ACHIEVE would be a much better word.

Your title also needs work.

IN THE HOUSEHOLD LIFE is also awkward.

A better restatement of everything might be:

GUIDELINE TOWARDS ACHIEVING A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS FAMILY

–improve faith and piety in order to achieve happiness and serenity in the household.

LIFE is totally unnecessary and redundant.
SERENITY should be listed after, not before, HAPPINESS.
yes you used it very maturely.
yes, you used the word correctly.
yep serenity means peacefulness and calm so u used it perfectly :D A+
I would say, "It is necessary to improve upon faith and piety in order to achieve serenity and happiness in the household life.", or something to that effect.
Yes, but see the answer just above mine.
Instead of "to get" serenity - how about "to achieve" serenity. Just a thought.
