Acrobat 9 to Livecycle Problem

if(event.value == "MARRIED")
{
this.getField("SPOUSE").required = true
this.getField("SPOUSE SSN").required = true;
}
else
{
this.getField("SPOUSE").required = false
this.getField("SPOUSE SSN").required = false;
}

This was my Acrobat 9 validation script. I need to switch this to LC Designer. I have the first if part right. I change it to:

if(this.rawValue == "Married")

I cannot seem to get the required part right. This script is suppose to take a Dropdown lists value(the Married) and make 2 other fields required if "Married" selected and not required if something else is selected.
