You can add your spouse to the mortgage by refinancing in both of your names. Your spouse does have to be credit-worthy. Check with your original lender to see if it can be done simply without a full fee for refinancing.
No
You can refinance without the spouse but you will need their consent to do so. If the spouse is on the title of the home, the answer is "no". If the spouse is on the existing mortgage the answer is "no". If the spouse is not on title you need to indicate on the loan application that you are married, and if you don't is fraud. At the time of closing she/he would have to be present. Inform you spouse of your actions.
Let me answer the question this way: the addition of somebody with low credit can't help a mortgage application, and may kill it. A lot depends on the mortgage being applied for (all mortgages have, as a criteria for acceptance, a range of acceptable credit scores) and how low, in fact, the spouse's credit scores are. Talk it over with the professional handling your mortgage. If, for instance, you need to add the spouse for income reasons, you might be better off to get a different sort of mortgage. Good luck.

I am the one who wrote this question, and now I have an answer that I will share. I spoke to our attorney, and the answer to the above question is NO, absolutely not, as the court will view this as a transfer of assets and you could be charged with fraud.
you just get it for no reason
Then the house needs to be sold.
If the mortgage is in your name it would not be affected by the death of your spouse. Mortgage life insurance is coverage that is taken out so that your house would be paid for in the event of your death.
At the moment there are very few investors willing to purchase reverse mortgage loans with a non-borrowing spouse due to the AARP / HUD lawsuit. It's advised that both you and your spouse go on the loan together as the reverse mortgage becomes a balloon payment when the last surviving borrower passes.Some helpful reading on this topic here:Reverse Mortgage with Spouse Under 62 Leaves Vulnerabilityhttp://www.allrmc.com/blog/reverse-mortgage-with-spouse-under-62-leaves-vulnerability
