... So Alma and I have the choice of either going to a married student ward or to a family ward. Initially, we decided married student ward was the way to go. Everyone there would be in our same life situation, they would be our neighbors (the ward is essentially our apt. complex), and we just knew that if we went to the family ward we would get thrown into Primary.
...So we went to the married student ward last Sunday. It was weird. It's like going to a singles ward, but everyone is paired off. In Relief Society, one girl talked about feeling the Spirit while being intimate, and another reminded us that our purpose here on earth was to "replenish the earth" and so we should start having babies ASAP. And to make the experience worse, it was Fast Sunday, so we had the pleasure of listening to some awesome testimonies. One girl testified to how difficult it was to decide to get married while her sister was on a mission cause they had made some pact about having a big double wedding when she got back from her mission and then she met her husband and she just didn't know what to do ... yada, yada, yada.
...So we're gonna scope the family ward out this Sunday. Being thrown into Primary is looking better and better to us.

where are you living?? our ward is a married student ward and WE LOVE IT! we have tons of really cool people...don't get suckered into family wards...
Woman! I got engaged last Friday night!
And I've been thinking the same thing....married student wards creep me out...
Ha, ha that made me laugh! What in the world! Our ward is great, so I guess we got lucky there, but you'll have to let us know how the family ward is:).
We're living at Heritage Court - and apparently the ward is just really weird or something cause some friends we have who live there both go to the family ward.
We had the same experiences and dumped our married ward after about 1 1/2 years. Stupid isn't it. Primary will help you more than you think and it is all in the attitude! Love you guys.
Shawn and I decided family ward was the way for us! I couldn't handle more student wards.
I had heard that married student wards are exactly the same as single wards except you're not trying to date everyone there... Plus I didn't want to deal with everyones grossness either.
We love our family ward and we learn so much from the older people there! Shawn is with the scouts and I'm teaching Sunday school to 14 year olds. It's so fun! I would definitely change to the married ward!
