'For' or 'for the sake of'?

Should I say 'for' or 'for the sake of'?
"You should work (for, for the sake of) our future family," my girlfriend told me.

Either one is OK. Work for the family = you are employed by the family, or you work to benefit the family Work for the sake of the family = you work to benefit the family, perhaps making some sacrifice of your own.
