<![CDATA[Artikel ini mengkaji praktik romantisme dan pernikahan dalam lingkungan Ikatan Mahasiswa Muhammadiyah (IMM) NTB sebagai fenomena sosial yang sarat nilai ideologis. Melalui pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif, untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian Pertama, bagaimana Ideologi antara kader IMM Nusa Tenggara barat membentuk relasi romantasisme, Kedua bagaimana tantangan hubungan romantisisme sama kader IMM di Nusa Tenggara Barat. Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana relasi antar anggota, khususnya antara immawan dan immawati, dipandu oleh semangat dakwah, ideologi Islam berkemajuan, serta komitmen terhadap nilai-nilai keorganisasian Muhammadiyah. Romantisme dalam IMM NTB tidak dilihat sebagai relasi emosional bebas, melainkan sebagai alat untuk memperkuat solidaritas gerakan dan proses kaderisasi. Pernikahan diposisikan sebagai puncak kematangan ideologis, simbol regenerasi nilai, dan perwujudan dakwah dalam ruang domestik. Namun, dinamika ini juga menghadapi tantangan seperti benturan antara idealisme dan realita sosial, serta risiko eksklusivisme internal. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa relasi personal dalam IMM NTB merupakan refleksi dari dialektika antara ideologi, budaya, dan pengalaman individu, serta menjadi medan penting pembentukan identitas kader sebagai agen perubahan sosial. Kata Kunci: IMM, Dakwah, Ideologi, Kaderisasi, Pernikahan, Romantisme. Romanticism, Ideology, and Marriage within the IMM Organization of West Nusa Tenggara Abstract This article examines the practices of romantic relationships and marriage within the Ikatan Mahasiswa Muhammadiyah (IMM) of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) as a social phenomenon imbued with ideological values. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study seeks to address two main research questions: first, how the ideology embraced by IMM cadres in West Nusa Tenggara shapes romantic relationships; and second, what challenges are encountered in romantic relationships among IMM cadres in the region. The article explores how interpersonal relations among members particularly between immawan and immawati are guided by the spirit of dakwah, the ideology of Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan), and a commitment to Muhammadiyah’s organizational values. Romantic relationships within IMM NTB are not perceived as free or purely emotional engagements but rather as instruments for strengthening movement solidarity and the cadre formation process. Marriage is positioned as the culmination of ideological maturity, a symbol of value regeneration, and the manifestation of dakwah within the domestic sphere. However, these dynamics also face challenges, including tensions between ideological idealism and social realities, as well as the risk of internal exclusivism. This article demonstrates that personal relationships within IMM NTB reflect a dialectical interaction between ideology, organizational culture, and individual experience, and constitute an important arena for shaping cadres’ identities as agents of social change. ]]>
