Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: We Asked Provo Wives for Secrets About Their Lives, and This Is What They Shared

In an anonymous survey conducted by our top writers, we at the Alternate Universe learned the real truth about life in Provo as a married woman.

“I really wasn’t supposed to tell anyone this, but Quincee got a boob job. She claims it’s because she started working chest at VASA. I honestly think her husband doesn’t know either. She only told me because I told her I got a boob job first. Except I didn’t. Ha! These are all natural. “

“I told my friends they could bring their babies over whenever they needed and I’d babysit for free. Right when they leave, I start teaching the babies to say swear words in hopes of pranking the parents. I’m sorry… it’s just too funny. “

“I can’t stop buying stuffed animals. It started because I just thought they were cute, but then my husband got really into GTA 5 and stopped cuddling with me. I got into squishmallows to fill the void…”

“The other day we hiked Squaw Peak and I peed in the bushes. Sorry not sorry.”

“My husband and I go to the temple for endowment sessions once a week and just sleep through the entire thing. We’re both tired students, but want to have spiritual time as well, so this is our compromise.”

“If I see the missionaries by the MTC, I always pretend I’m a nonmember. I get a laugh and they feel like they’ve fulfilled their purpose, so really it’s a win-win. I just worry they’ll one day check on my status in the spirit world and learn the truth.”

“This girl from Brazil moved into our ward, and I saw her wearing a sleeveless top, so I knew she had the new garments. When she invited us over for dinner, I “went to the bathroom” and stole one of the tank top garments from her dresser. She won’t miss it.”

“We started a cuddle group with members from our ward. We know swinging isn’t appropriate, but there’s nothing wrong with cuddling, right?”

“My husband is a TA for a course that I’m taking. He’s not over my section, but he clocks in when I ask him homework questions, and sometimes he even gives me hints about exam questions.”
