Seems like you’ve reversed causality there. Poverty is a social context that shapes many of the attributes you’ve described. It’s not as if you took a kid from a rich family and put him in with poor one, his genetic virtues would somehow make him come out on top.

The causality is reversed, but not in the way you are inciting. Regardless of background, married men tend to make more more and act more responsibly:

There’s a lot of hard data which actually suggests otherwise. From the classic paper “Why G Matters”: https://images.app.goo.gl/X4wAFYFC6xQrSU259

Poverty was a reason to get married in the past. Lots of civil war brides.
