There is nothing you have to do per se, but given that you are supposed to keep USCIS informed of address changes, you may want to write to them and let them know what's going on. Additionally, depending on how long its been since your marriage, if your spouse has a green card and its been less than two years (meaning it is still the conditional legal permanent residency card) then your spouse will lose their status and need to leave the US, unless they claim one of the exceptions that would allow them to remain, which is another story that I won't go into here.
