When talking about chores at home I said this to my wife

I hate doing the dishes, though I do them every day, because I love the family.

I'm pretty sure the part before "because" is idiomatic, as it comes from another ELL post.

I'm also sure the part after "because" sounds natural as well, as Ngram Viewer justifies it.

The question is that Ngram Viewer returns "Ngrams not found" for the clause "because I love the family", which implies it's not as common. Why is that?
