Could you give some more insight on this?

If you ever been poor, you don’t understand the stress that money puts on a relationship. And that’s just to start with. Poverty also increases stress which increases a likeliness to use drugs to combat the stress. Also, as other people pointed out, it’s most times more economic feasible for people in poverty not to get married because they would be penalized by getting married.

Poverty causes stress and stress causes aberrant behavior.

I might qualify this to say that poverty without spirituality causes fatherlessness.

if poverty is the cause of divorces/families breaking up then why does the US (a developed country) have one of the highest divorce rates?

That’s a bold statement.
