"Will you marry me" can be changed to passive voice as "Will I be married by you." In the passive voice sentence, the subject of the active voice becomes the object of the passive voice, and the object of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice.
An overuse of passive voice changes the feeling of writing. In a sense, it removes the action; it seems that things are happening to the subject instead of the subject doing the action. When you write in passive voice too much, then the writing seems weak. Also, passive voice is a thorn in the side of most English teachers.

The simplest sentences are in the active voice: they follow the pattern subject-verb-object, such as "Jack kissed Jill". Jack, the actor in the sentence, is the one doing the kissing, and he is the subject of the sentence. But in the sentence "Jill was kissed by Jack", Jack is still the actor doing the kissing but it is now Jill, the passive person, the person receiving the kiss, who is the subject of the sentence, and Jack is relegated to a prepositional phrase. If the actor is the subject, it is active voice, if the passive person is the subject, it is passive voice. But English speakers recognize the passive form by the verb combination--the verb "to be" is inserted before the past participle and the tense of the verb "to be" governs the tense of the passive verb.
