The show ends with Guinevere as Queen, and Arthur dead. Having not brought back magic, or united the realm, or ruled over the Golden Age (and the creators confirming in an interview that Guinevere DID do all these things) the only truly important thing Arthur ever did was marry Guinevere.

This is actually a really interesting point - the only valuable contribution to the Golden Age of Camelot that Arthur made was in his choice of wife.

I think there is a strong argument to be made for the fact that he would not have married Gwen, nor would he have been someone she was attracted to, had it not been for Merlin's influence on him. Gwen clearly does not like Arthur in the first episode and doesn't develop fondness for him until she gets to know him through his relationship with Merlin. Likewise, prior to his friendship with Merlin, his servant, I don't think he would have ever considered a servant as a romantic prospect. So in his own way, Merlin was the force that brought Arthur and Gwen together, and got Gwen on the throne.

And all of this could be said to be why the Dragon constantly harps on Merlin to save Arthur's ass all the damn time - he had to live long enough to fall in love with and marry the woman would WOULD bring peace and unity and the return to magic.

Exactly. And like I said, it's the only way the story (as it was depicted here) makes any sense at all - barring the fact that the dragon never mentioned Guinevere at all.
