Being a Chemical Engineer, other than writing, I have a passion for the sciences. And being so in love with life, I cannot help but connect the two, Science and Life, because they truly are connected.

I’d like to talk about relationships today, that of a husband and a wife.. The love between the two echoes into the lifetime of generations to come. When we talk about our great grandfathers, and our great grandmothers, the patriarchs and the matriarchs of our family tree. We look to them at their astonishing accomplishment, because from their union, came the lives of so many individuals including that your own.

And that is why, I often say, that in a family, the most important relationship there is, is that between the husband and the wife. Because from that relationship, their children will have the template for what a loving relationship is. The ultimate gift that you can often give to your children, is not of money, but the knowledge of love and how to love.

And now to the title of this post, the boiling point. This is the point, I would wish for all marriages to reach, and to maintain.

For in many relationships, we often observe, that a heated and passionate love affair before marriage, suddenly cools down, and remains cold for the rest of their marriage, if indeed that marriage can move on…

But what if, you can start out cool, and work your way up to boil, reach that boiling point, and keep your marriage passionate and filled with love.

Isn’t this the marriage that we would all want for ourselves?

It’s possible, and it takes work, but you need to turn on the fire. That fire of course comes from an understanding of how to love. The knowledge that love consists of compassion, understanding, respect, affection, empathy, and of course, spending time together.

In many things we do in life, it is not so much as how you start, but rather, it is how you finish. Keep the fire burning, and your boiling point will be reached and maintained.
