Mortgage contracts are very carefully worded legal documents.  If one 
said "recommended" then I'd read "recommended" and not "demanded" or any 
other word.

You appear not to understand mortgages.  If I get run over by a bus and 
my partner can't keep up payments _they get the house_ plus the vast 
amount of the money we've already paid them.  It's actually almost 
entirely in their interests for me to drop dead and for Lynda to default 
on the house forcing her to sell it.
