I got married after receiving PR and I will include the spouse now. I came to know that I have to show POF for 2 persons.I was maintaining funds for single applicant till marriage and I will add extra funds for second person now. is that okay or do I need to maintain funds for more that 3 months ?

Yes, you would need to show POF for 2 people. It does not matter if the additional amount has been recently deposited in your account. What matters is that you are able to show the source of this additional fund.

"Source of funds" ? Do we need to submit any other documents apart from Bank statements

You need to submit Bank certificate which mentions the account number, date of account opening, account holder names, current balance and average balance for last 6 months.
"Source of funds" refers to the means through which you obtained the mentioned amount - salary, savings, gift from parents/siblings, sale of property, etc.
If you obtained this money as a gift from someone, then you need to obtain a gift deed signed from that person stating that this money is a gift to you and need not be returned back.
