<span>Medicines are drugs used to treat, cure, and prevent disease. This means that all medicines must be drugs. However, since not all drugs are used to treat disease, not all drugs can be considered medicines.</span>

The difference between drugs and medicines is pretty basic, but a lot of people often interchange them. The main thing that differentiates them are their legality and society's perception of them. Both are used for the treatment or cure of diseases, but drugs have a more stimulating and addictive effect to the body than medicine. On the other hand, medicines generally don't have such effects.

What is one way to create healthy communication in a marriage?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Effective Communication!

  • Be specific
  • Avoid mind reading
  • LISTEN
  • Freely express your emotions
  • Actually talk. The average American couple only spends 20 minutes directly talking to each other every week.

Explanation:

If you're not communicating with your partner, you're ruining your relationship. Talking to each other can get you to understand each other. For example, when you're holding a grudge against something, and don't let your partner know, they're most likely to think you're mad at them. But if you just explain and talk about it, they can help you get through it.
