I would argue that poverty is a barrier to successful marriage.

That's cart before the horse. If lower class women did not 'settle' for miscreant poor males then those males would have to get a job to attract a female. That's the way it's been for 1,000s of years.

But the welfare state eliminates the incentive for the male to get a job in order to get pussy. This works to the disadvantage of the female who wants a secure home for offspring.
