Beyonce: ' Friendship With Jay-Z Makes Marriage Successful '

BEYONCE Knowles believes her friendship with husband Jay-Z is the key to their successful marriage.

The Single Ladies singer and the 99 Problems hitmaer were friends for over a year before they started dating and Beyonce, 31, thinks their friendship is one of the key factors in their strong marriage.

“We were friends first for a year and a half before we went on any dates,” she said.

“We were on the phone for a year and a half, and that foundation is so important for a relationship. Just to have someone who you just like is so important, and someone [who] is honest.

“I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man. It just gives me such a foundation. [He's helped me] on so many levels.”
