How to get a spouse to sign quit claim

I inherited half of my mother's home. I am buying out my sister's half. She signed a quit claim so that I could do this. When I purchase the house, she will get her half in cash. There is also a reverse mortgage to pay off, so that will get done, and I will have a traditional loan left to pay off. Now it is time for me to sign escrow papers, and I am told that because we live in a community property state, my spouse must also sign, be on the deed, and he will own half. I don't want him on the deed, since he has chosen to be unemployed since our marriage. I also don't want to reward him for his behavior by essentially handing him $150,000 worth of property. I will be making the payments and maintaining the home solely on my income. I love him dearly, but he is not contributing to the home, and so I want this property in my name alone. I have been told he will have to sign a quit claim to that effect. My question to you, is: How to present this information to him, without it sounding like a negative? I am fine with making him one of the beneficiaries, but I don't want him to be co-owner. How can I tell him so that I won't make him mad? HELP!
