Because hydrogen bonds can't form between the molecules in the ether, the boiling point of this compound is more than 80 C lower than the corresponding alcohol. ... As a result,ethers are less likely to be soluble in water than the alcohol with the same molecular weight.

here is the answer for you your question
Boiling point of a substance depends on inter molecular forces. Ethanol ( Alcohol) have strong intermolecular Hydrogen bonds whereas ethers have weak dipole-dipole interactions , dispersion forces or Vander Wall forces depending upon the number of carbon atoms involved in alkyl group of ether. So due to strong intermolecular H-bonds in alcohols, they have higher boiling points than ethers.
