Not initially but if the USCIS requests that you submit it, then you must in order for the application to be adjudicated favorably.

USCIS usually asks for those documents, especially paycheck stubs for a period of time immediately prior to the filing of the petition to determine whether the principal H-1B was maintaining status at the time of filing.

You probably need to submit your spouse's pay-stubs to show that you are maintaining H-4 status because your spouse is maintaining the H-1.? Marriage certificate may not be necessary.
