So, much to Mary's and my dismay, we had a rude awakening today. We thought we were forever leaving the awkward environment of the BYU singles ward. Not so. Today we attended our new BYU married ward for the first time. And we've both come to the same conclusion.
BYU married wards are just as strange as the singles ward.
No kidding. Literally, half the ward is pregnant, and other half have newborns. And, according the Mary, the Relief Society lesson was all about babies. "Multiply and Replenish" was the theme of the lesson today. Mary's wondering if we could get our old Bishop to let us back into his ward. At least that strangeness we're used to.
One of the oddities is that I sort of expected or imagined a married ward to have a lot more spiritual maturity. Again, not so. The people in our singles ward are just as 'spiritually mature' if not more than the members of our new ward. They just don't have spouses. Or babies.
So, in short, we miss being single. Or at least our singles ward. But sex is frickin' awesome. :)

ReplyDeleteOk, you are too funny. I never had to experience the BYU married ward, but the way you described it is exactly the way I pictured it. Hope it gets better, and you make me happy I never had to deal with it. Besides now I would be one of the pregnant girls and I would fit in all too well, so glad to be in the ward I'm in. :)
