Bank statements are an essential requirement of the application and must be provided.
The statements give a good indication of your ability to save money to support your family. As far as the ECO is concerned it shows him all your incoming and outgoing expenses which will help him to decide whether you have the ability and finance to support your family in the UK without recourse to public funds.
If you do not provide them, then there is a possibility that your spouse visa maybe refused on teh grounds that the ECO is not satified on the balance of probalities that you are not capable of supporting your spouse if and when they arrive here.
I would recomend that you delay your application for 3 months or so to enable you to save yourself some money in your bank account for which you can send at least 3 months wage slips/ bank statements,
The choice is yours though
