Current AFDC rules probably lower the probability that a cohabiting couple will decide to marry, and they lower the probability of remarriage for divorced women. There is a large research literature on "assortative mating," and it would be useful to know, for example, how AFDC affects the probability that a woman can "marry up" in the ranking, whether the income from AFDC allows women to be choosier about potential mates, just as unemployment insurance allows those out of work to be choosier about potential jobs.
