"I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating," she says in the December/January issue of Seventeen (on newsstands Nov. 18).
"I really dont believe that you will love the same thing when youre 20 as you do at 30," she adds. "So that was my rule: Before the age of 25, I would never get married."
Beyonce, 27, continues: "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."
Jay-Z, 38, and Beyonce said "I Do" in a secret ceremony at his NYC apartment last April.
Look back on gorgeous celebrity wedding photos.
So what kind of advice does Jay-Z offer her?
"I guess probably that we're all human," she says. "I don't care if youre picture-perfect on every magazine cover, and youre the most handsome, successful, coolest guy - you still get sad, and you still get your feelings hurt, and you still get confused and vulnerable and nervous and scared.
"You have to find a person you can make it through the tough times with," she adds.
Look back on Beyonce and Jay-Z's most romantic moments.
Beyonce - who named her new double album I Am...Sasha Fierce after her alter ego - admits she's hard on herself despite Jay-Z's words of encouragement.
"I feel like I'm my own competition," she said. "I dont try to compete with other people. I just try to better myself."
Beyonce also studies videos of herself.
"I go and watch everything that I've done. I have my YouTube days, when I watch every performance, and I listen to my music, and I watch my videos to figure out what I need to do, what I need to fix, and how to become a better singer," she says.
Remember some of Beyonce's worst fashion choices?

bbeyonce07Her alter ego is a fan thing...LOL! Sasha has been here for years...LOL! It's like the V.I.P. pass for Beyonce fans...what she brings to her performance...her stage persona...so if you are not a fan which is fine...then you will not understand it...Most performers have alter egos....It is the inner someone that gives them the out of body experience...report abuseposted January 3, 2009 11:37 AM PST

bbeyonce07When you are young and simple minded you look for superficial things is a relationship...Looks, money, sex etc, etc... But when you get older and more mature and want more gratification in life which is more spiritual and personal...A lot of people are shallow now-a-days so they do not understand the wisdom behind her words...The simplicity of their marriage is the most beautiful aspect!report abuseposted January 3, 2009 11:29 AM PST
