I Don't -- Why People In Connecticut Have Cold Feet

(From Slate.com -- By Brendan I. Koerner)

According to THE NATIONAL MARRIAGE PROJECT at RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, the state of CONNECTICUT had the nation's lowest marriage rate in 2004, at just 24.2 betrothals per 1,000 single women over the age of 15.

The runners-up were also blue states.

After Connecticut, the top marriage-phobic states are California (26.4 weddings per 1,000 single women), Pennsylvania (27.4), New Jersey (30.4), Massachusetts (30.4) and New York (30.6).

So why is Connecticut the #1 state for people with cold feet?
