Surely a pastor knows that he's "building up his riches in Heaven," so why should he ask for, expect, or charge anything on Earth?
Usually marriage counseling can be free of charge if you are a member of a church. Pastor's usually are trained in biblical counseling. If you are in a church where the pastor is a credentialed minister, this is a great resource for marriage or family counseling.
Most church offer some pre marriage counseling. You should speak with your pastor and see if he can help you or direct you to someone else.
Your particular pastor may require you to have premarital counseling with him. However, if you don't want it, then you can chose another pastor or get married in court.

Yes. If a married person seeks advice from a counselor, even a Christian pastor functioning as a counselor, they should receive help in private if they request it. In one example that person may be a victim of spousal abuse. Having to notify the abuser that the victim has requested private counseling may result in more abuse. In many cases a spouse refuses to attend marriage-divorce counseling. That should not prevent the other from seeking help.If a Christian pastor has chosen the position of counseling others they should do so in the best interests of the people who seek help.
There are numerous benefits to marriage counseling. Most importantly, marriage counseling sessions can help you and your spouse to learn to communicate more effectively with each other.
Marriage counseling is available in person and online. While online counseling is less personal than traditional counseling, it can provide marriage help without being invasive. Sites like Online Marriage Counseling have services available to assist in marriage counseling. It's important to find a certified and trusted online marriage counselor, just as you would have done before face to face counseling. See the Sources and Related Links section for more information.
