Seven rules I use. Let me know what you would add.
1) Treat them with respect. Don't talk down to them.
2) They are a real person, not a project.
3) Their opinion is as valuable as yours. (at least pretend it is) - LOL
4) Listen! You have to ears and one mouth, use them proportionately.
5) Earn the right to be heard. Don't preach.
6) They don't speak Christianese. Leave the church talk at church.
7) Be up-front about your faith. It's an aspect of your life.
