Parents prepared me - Beyoncé

New York - Beyoncé says her parents prepared her for the hard work of marriage.
In an interview in the latest issue of Giant, the 27-year-old singer talks about getting hitched to Jay-Z.
She says she doesn't have a fantasy view of marriage. That's because she's seen her parents, Matthew and Tina Knowles, struggle but stick through it.
"My parents are tighter now than ever, but they've been through it all. There were times when they were together, times when they were apart," says Beyoncé.
"I learned that it's a lot of hard work, that it's more than a dress."
Beyoncé and Jay-Z married in a private ceremony earlier this year.
