Is this transfer possible without having to go the route of one party backing up their phone's contents and the then recovering it on the other's phone?

It's a lengthy conversation, so having the one person forward each text to the other wouldn't be ideal. So I wanted to see if there was a way of backing up just your messages, so that they can be retrieved on another phone.

Any suggestion on how to pursue this/apps that may be helpful is appreciated.
 
1. Restore the new iPhone with iTunes from the backup for the old iPhone.
2. If you want a more straightforward way to transfer data from iPhone to iPhone, you could try data transfer apps.
