Why Beyonce Was In No Hurry to Marry Jay-Z

Posted by Emily Farris

 

We may not like her new single, "If I Were a Boy," but we do like the way Beyonce thinks about love and marriage. She married her rapper beau Jay-Z last April, but it was a long time coming... and for all the right reasons.

In a recent interview with Seventeen, Beyonce said she met Jay-Z when she was 18, started dating him at 19, but waited until her late twenties to marry him because...

"I really don’t believe that you will love the same thing when you’re 20 as you do at 30," Beyonce, now 27, told the magazine. "So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married... I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else."

Now, if she could just apply that same reasoning to pop songs, the world would be a much better place.
