BEIJING, Dec. 1 -- Beyonce Knowles has learnt
marriage is "more than a dress".
The "If I Were a Boy" singer, who tied the knot with
rapper Jay-Z earlier this year, is inspired by her parents' happy marriage and
is willing to work hard to ensure her relationship survives.
She said, "I learned that it's a lot of hard work,
that it's more than a dress. 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."
The 27-year-old star recently insisted her feelings
for the hip-hop mogul are "real" and they aren't interested in flaunting their
love in public.
Beyonce, who has been pictured wearing a ¡ê2.5 million
engagement ring, explained: "What Jay and I have is real. It's not about the
interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real."
The couple dated for around five years before finally
getting married.
