The way to have your spouse named to the deed to the home that is in your name alone is for you to consult with a real estate attorney to draft up a deed where you sign a grant deed before a notary public giving a portion of the property to your spouse. You then have the document recorded in the county recorder's office where the property is situated to transfer interest in title to the spouse.
