do they ''HAVE'' to tell their spouse they were really born male/female? or they dont have to know.

Marriage is about trust, honesty, commitment and the desire to grow together as one. Lying isn't conducive to marriage. Hiding something so important is selfish, another characteristic that isn't conducive to marriage.

They do not have to tell their partner that at all, but I think a FTM would be noticed by the weekly/biweekly or monthly injections of T they have to keep up their whole lives or menstration and breasts will come back (no menstration if they have a complete hysterectomy of course)....
As for the birthcertificate thing, THAT depends on what state you are in, I know in kansas that you can not change the birth certificate, But you CAN change things like drivers liscenses and I.D's.....

I don't think they have to tell anyone anything. I know that if I were truly in love with someone, I'd want them to know my whole story. I don't think it's really fair if they knew their spouse had moral issues with transsexuals and they still chose never to tell them. There's a huge possibility that they will find out eventually anyway and they may be very hurt for being 'lied to' for so long.

Nobody really has to/has to not do anything. I think if someone were to get married, they should tell their spouse something that major. Then again a lot of relationships have ended because of dishonesty.

there is nothing that they HAVE to tell, but, if they want they want the relationship to work in the long term, they should as eventually the truth will come out and it is always better to hear surprising news from thier loved ones instead of from someone who doesn't have their best interest in mind.

It's my opinion that it shouldn't matter. I think it's fair to tell your partner that you're unable to bear children, but beyond that, it's a birth defect that's been fixed.

There is no law that I'm aware of that says they have to disclose that information, but if they care about the other person, then the other person has a right to know that.

It is not a legal question, it is an ethical question. I think they should tell them before they become intimate.
