There is no constitutional amendment that states that you do not have to testify against a spouse in a court proceeding. Some states recognize a concept known as spousal immunity, it varies state by state.

ADDED: There is no such wording in any amendment to the US Constitution.

However, it was adecision of the US Suprme Court which said that it was "regarded as so essential to the preservation of the marriage relationship as to outweigh the disadvantages to the administration of justice" (Wolfle v. United States,291 U.S. 7, 54 S. Ct. 279, 78 L. Ed. 617 [1934]).
