How to export messages from Facebook?
I don't know why facebook have not given easy export features, so we have to think outside the box for such solutions. There are different ways to approach it. I used a few of such methods to export it which I will explain below:
(Solution 1)
Via Facebook.com (Official Method)
- Go to Facebook -> Settings -> Your Facebook Information -> Download Your Information
- Choose Date Range of your choice, Select "HTML as Format and Media Quality as MEDIUM
- Uncheck all other options except "Messages" and then click "Create File".
- You'll get email notification of download requested and then will receive email in few minutes/hours in zip format.
- Find your spouse's Facebook handle/username
- Print chat logs with photos (you can even convert HTML to PDF using free online convention tools. e. g. HTML2PDF and later select which pages to Print)

Via CellPhone
I also once used "Exporter for Facebook - Backup,Print,Export PDF" app. It's very easy to use, but it may have more features in in-app purchases (in-app cost £4.29 per item)

(Solution 3)
Via Google Chrome Browser Extension "Message Saver for Facebook"
- Go to ChatSaver.org and Download and Extract Extension ZIP file in your computer.
- Open Chrome Browser and go to More Tools -> Extensions ... and enable "Developer Mode" on top right corner.
- On same Extension page, click "Load Unpacked" and locate directory where you have extracted Extension page.
- Now go to Messenger.com, select your spouse's chat and click on Light Blue Extension Logo and select "First Date" and "Last Date" of chat logs.
- After few minutes, chat messages will be extracted in form of plain HTML (with no photos).
- If you want chat logs with media as well, you have to pay $3 to enable those options in that extension.
