No. It is not important to have complete and total disclosure in a successful relationship.
If there is mutual trust and no reason for jealousy, there shouldn't be a problem.
You know, most people have fantasies. Some they share and some they don't. Are couples required to disclose each and every fantasy? I think not.
You both receive individual postal mail and/or email. Is it necessary to read each other's mail? I don't think so.
So, it's a personal choice. You want to share every little detail, go ahead, but I think every adult in a relationship is entitled to a little personal space.

you should not feel that you have to share everything with your spouse. you are part of a partnership - but an individual in that partnership, and therefore you should retain your own thoughts and feelings on some things. i agree with [previous poster] that if you are told something in confidence by a third person, that should remain a secret unless the third person is aware that you are going to share it with your partner. however, honesty is the key to a good relationship - generally if you feel bad or uncomfortable about keeping something a secret, it is better to get it out.

No, some things you just need to figure out yourself. It keeps you who you are. Besides some things your spouse your may react to in a negative way.

Maybe not EVERYTHING, but just about.
For instance my spouse doesn't need to know I drink milk right from the jug and happily place it back into the fridge.
But as far as financial, day to day things, and how we feel, etc. It;s good to keep eachother in the loop.

Its good to make your spouse to be your confidant.
There are things that your spouse better off not knowing.
keep them away as long as they are not harmful like how you handle your personal financial account...

really, the way your spouse react to things, we really make you know what to confide in him or her. but logically and naturally if two couples understand theirselves better and communication it is always good to confide in your spouse for good encouragement, advice and support

NO, I don't think its a great idea to dwell on your past or feel you need to share every thought with your spouse

It is extremely important. it builds trust when you talk and communicate with your spouse and if you fail to "mention" something that your spouse feels should have been said to them, trust issues start occuring and eventually snow-balling into more and more issues.
