Is "n-th year of relationship" a common phrase?

Question

Example sentence:

And so, when Katsumi and Kiyoshi reached their second year of relationship, they moved in to a one-bedroom apartment.

Is this kind of expression common? If not, what's a more typical alternative?

Alternatively, you could say "reached their second year together". — webbm, Oct 10, 2017 at 12:35
Sound very formal; "...had been seeing each other for a year, ..." perhaps? — Dan, Oct 10, 2017 at 13:46

Yes, albeit with slightly different grammar. The following is a more common way of expressing it:

And so, when Katsumi and Kiyoshi reached the second year of their relationship, they moved in to a one-bedroom apartment.
