^^ Seen it a million times.

Usually an imagine spot fantasizing about future wedded bliss with the LoveInterest.  It's not even as male oriented as you'd think, as sometimes girls will fantasize about being the wife in this scenario. (Though men of course are the primary fantasizers). It's a subtrope of InsatiableNewlyweds and should be identified as such.

There are also plenty of examples already listed.  I count 14 so far, which is well beyond the required 3.

Some other examples:

Change123: An imagine spot by the protagonist when he discovers his father went and arranged an engagement with his girlfriend.

MysteriousGirlfriendX: One of many imagine spots by the male

Seitokai no Ichizon:  In one of the many imagine spot of the protagonist.

Truthfully it's so ubiquitous that it's hard to remember all the places I've seen it.  It's pretty obviously a trope and should not be discarded.

The title needs to be rewritten to not be a catch phrase, and it needs to be written so as to include the Western examples of which there are several.  (I seem to remember some 50's magazine advising women to greet their husbands wrapped up in cellopane or something).

But it shouldn't be discarded.  How about the bland FoodRelaxationAndSex as the working title until we find something better?
