The Queen of England is only known as "the Queen" if she is the rightful heir to the throne. If not, then she is known as the queen consort.
When the Queen of England chooses to marry, she will traditionally be arranged a marriage with, or choose, a man of noble origins. The man will normally be a prince, the heir to another land. This forms friendly ties between the two nations.
Once the two are legally married, the queen retains her title of "Queen of England", while the husband receives the title of "Prince Consort of England". This is because he still is the heir to the throne of his land, and therefore, remains a prince of that land.
The title of "Prince Consort" is removed when the ruling head of the prince's land dies. As the heir, the prince then becomes the king of that land, and therefore, will have his title changed to "King Consort of England".
Note that consort simply means the spouse of a ruling head of state.

If a queen marries someone then that man never becomes king. It is just the way it always has been.
