When a river flows, particles within the water wear away the sides of the river bank. This happens as they meander (when a river curves around corners) this causes water to push on the outer sides and push even more, wearing away in great curves.
They can, however, get wider by weakening the banks.
This however, depends on the circumstances, amount of rainfall, soil pH and other factors.

Why do meandering rivers occur in humid areas?
Meandering characterized a river's course when its flow begins to slow. Meanders form when slight irregularities in the flow cause the moving water to be directed towards a bank. This bank then erodes and at this point the river gets wider and the flow slows causing sediment to be deposited against the opposite bank. Eventually the process causes a large bend in the river and the river develops meanders.

Why do most rivers have wider channels than streams?
Streams are merely tributaries of rivers. A river is the wider channel into which smaller creeks, streams and rivers flow. (Streams do not flow out of rivers.) Streams carry water from higher sources, emptying into the river. As more streams empty into a river, it tends to become broader, simply because of the greater volume of water it is carrying.
